“I couldn’t imagine giving birth without midwives. You were so helpful.”

“The midwives’postpartum care is second to none. One of the most challenging and confusing times for new parents…first time or not…was made exponentially easier thanks to the support and incredible care and knowledge of our midwives”

Incredible support and care postpartum

“My midwife was always calm and very good in helping me relax. I could not have asked for a better birth experience.”

“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.”

“They were always there for all questions and concerns, all ups and downs throughout the pregnancy. Provided all options and supported our decisions.”

My care was transferred to Doctor during labor and for delivery. My midwife explained the reasoning and was a great support and advocate for my wishes!

OB transfer

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.

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!

“Without my midwives help I would not have been able to master breastfeeding. I’m so glad we were able to solve the problem and continue to breastfeed.”

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
