My midwives were great on giving me information on VBAC. I was able to meeting with the physician who did my c-section to discuss VBAC options.  All were for in and I had a successful VBAC thanks to the advice from my midwives.

VBAC choices were respected

“My husband and I developed an excellent relationship with our midwife and felt very comfortable and confident asking questions.”

“We are extremely satisfied with the care received from pregnancy to postpartum and will be choosing midwives for our next pregnancy. Great work!”

“I wanted to have a natural birth in the hospital and my midwife provided me with many useful strategies on how to cope with the pain.”

“Thank you so much for overall EXECELENT care. Would definitely choose midwifery care again and recommend it to friends.”

My midwives gave me lots of information so I could make an informed, evidence based decision about my care.

Informed choices

“This is a dedicated team who really cares about safety and quality of birth and pregnancy and postpartum experience.”

I was happy with the conversation we had with Dr X just before I was induced….I was conscious of, and curious what the doctor-midwife conversation would look like.  I felt at ease.

“My midwives were absolutely amazing during labour and delivery! I couldn’t have asked for a better delivery. I had all the confidence in the world in them.”

“The postpartum care is one of the many things that make midwives so special. Our midwives helped us make it through those first weeks as new parents.”
