“My midwives were amazing from beginning to end. I felt respected, safe and understood in their presence. I knew I could call on them anytime and that my baby and me would be well cared for.”
“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.”
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
“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.”
I always felt my opinion mattered in all of our discussions; they are like having amazing professional friends!
It’s all about choices, I loved my midwives!
“In the end, my midwife delivered my baby, but while I was under the doctor’s care, she stood next to me and was always supportive. I loved my experience with the midwives and will definitely choose them again for a second pregnancy.”
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.

“They were always there for all questions and concerns, all ups and downs throughout the pregnancy. Provided all options and supported our decisions.”
“My husband and I developed an excellent relationship with our midwife and felt very comfortable and confident asking questions.”
