HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Going to the Hello Motherhood classes each week was SO MUCH FUN for me and my…read morelittle one! And spending time with women who are in the same stage of life as me singlehandedly took away my imposter syndrome about motherhood . I made great friends with people whose kids are at the same developmental age as my own (which is typically SO hard to find). And the speakers who came to the classes are top notch . It's so much more than just classes, it's a weekly chance to connect, shine and grow with other great new mamas. If you have a friend who is pregnant, please GIFT her the Hello Motherhood experience . She will thank you!!

Fast forward to the next week - the day before the mommy and me classes - I emailed them just to confirm it was still on. Thank god I did because they responded that the classes were paused and I'd be getting a refund. I'm still waiting on them to refund the Pilates class to me. Just terrible communication all around.

This was my first birth, and it was the best healthcare experience I've ever had. At first, my…read morehusband was a little hesitant (let's be honest so was I) but we both quickly realized the professionalism and great competence of the nurse midwives after seeing them react perfectly when I passed out during a blood drawing at one of my first appointments. After I gave birth, my husband told me he was brought to tears by witnessing the power of women coming around each other during labor. My first appointment was virtual, and Alys answered every single question and concern I had about their safety protocols and their statistics on transfer rates with confidence. I asked all of the hard questions and was impressed by their protocols. Around six weeks, I thought I was having a miscarriage and Emily answered my frantic call to the birth center. She was the most compassionate and calming person and walked me through that. She got me an appointment the very next day to ensure everything was okay with the baby. I failed my first gestational diabetes test, and had to do the second test that had four blood drawings. I got to lay in one of the king-size beds in one of the birthing suites. I got to take a nap in the bed And I felt like I was in a hotel room. During my actual labor and delivery, It was way harder than I thought it would be. But having the fortune of laboring in a space, that was so comforting and personalized it made a big difference. I would not have made it without my personal Doula or the nitrous oxide(!!) they provided at the Birth Center. My daughter had the cord wrapped around her neck, and Melan acted swiftly to somersault her so that she wasn't hurt. I had a second-degree tear and Melan stitched me perfectly. After birth, my daughter needed some extra monitoring at Vanderbilt, and Jenissa personally walked us into the hospital and got a situated in our room with the nurse at the Vanderbilt Hospital. Never once did I feel shame for my weight, for any questions that I had, or feeling like I was imposing. At every step of the way, I was empowered, encouraged and taken care of with the utmost care. I relied on the nurse midwives to help me come up with a birth plan, and take care of myself and my baby with evidence-based statistics. I am so grateful for every single interaction I had at the Vanderbilt Birth Center and I wish Every woman had the opportunity to experience a tender, loving, professional care I received here. Thank you Emily, Melan, Alys, Grace, Kate, Janessa, Kristin, Janina, Kristin, Heather, Sarah, Laura, Donica, Taneesha!

I had my first baby through Baby and Co when the transition to the Vanderbilt Birthing Center was…read morefirst happening and have now been at the Vanderbilt Birthing Center for my second pregnancy as well. I am so torn since I love the idea of the birth center and having a nautral birth. However, the process there feels so systematic now and I feel like I was treated like a statistic than a person. Also, there are midwives on call, but you have to go through a call center to get to a midwife and I have never been able to get anyone on the phone. They always need to call back hours or days later. It is frustrating to not be able to talk to an actual person who can talk and having to give your personal information over and over again. Overall, I do not feel like they provided the help needed at crucial times for me. I would recommend going elsewhere for more hands on care and for someone more in tune with your needs. Pros: I love how supportive they were when I needed to have my blood drawn. They have aromatherapy and encouraging nurses. The birthing rooms feel like home and have a lot of nice things to use to help aid giving birth. There classes are also very informative. Cons: Gave misinformation numerous times and didn't bother reading my file on my first pregnancy when I came in pregnant again. My first pregnancy was a bit traumatic (leading to a hospital transfer and forceps) and I feel like they could have handled the matter more delicately. They also have much stricter rules about COVID than most doctor's offices. (Need to wait outside until someone comes to your car and takes your temp.. No one allowed in for appointments with you, etc) They have a very high transfer rate to the hospital and it is a little scary needing to get in a car and have your husband drive you to the hospital mid delivery.

She was an amazing advocate who…read morewas supportive, loving, and genuinely excited to meet our baby with us, even after 20+ hours of labor and a transfer from the birth center to the hospital. She visited us after we brought our baby home and gave us a personalized gift bag, which was so unexpected and sweet. With our permission, she took sharable and discreet pictures during our birth experience and one of our favorites is right after he was born of us all together. She also sent the timeline she documented of when things were happening during the birth and at what time - something very special I had not even thought of! Even before we met Erica, the owner, Vicki, helped us personally with some paperwork we needed for our insurance company and I knew from the beginning this team would go out of their way to help new moms. Also, after baby arrived, Sarah met with me in my home to teach me how to do a super helpful postpartum wrap, which I also recommend. We can't thank Erica, Vicki, Sarah, and Nashville Doula enough. Highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful space!…read more The decor and environment are very welcoming. The front area is big enough where people are not standing on top of one another.

Thankfully, Blooma is there for you. I've never been one to gush, "I can't wait to have kids!" I also know nothing about them. Today I googled, "do you put socks on a baby in the summer? How do you dress a baby during the summer? How much bigger do you get in the third trimester?" In short, I need help. Blooma has helped me embrace this new path (so has my co-pilot in this journey), but Blooma is really a magical place and I'm so glad it exists. Their prenatal classes are a mix of yoga, meditation, and affirmations. I haven't even fully dove in yet, but I feel great every time I leave a class. I'm pretty excited to try their educational classes and mom and little one yoga and barre classes as well. I have a feeling it's going to be my sanctuary during maternity leave. If you are expecting or have a little one at home, I can't recommend Blooma enough. They have something for everyone, I promise!

Ultimately, I want both of you to be empowered and educated through the birth experience. All classes come with a useful booklet. I am also a certified birth and bereavement doula, supporting women and their partners during labor.

All my kids have been "water safe" by 2 1/2. Im disappointed this program does not enforce water safety. I spoke with the manager, and teachers to push him, and all they did was continue play time. Not the program for life and death water safety. I really wish there was a better program here. I will have to hire a teacher to come to my home once the pool is complete. Love the facility, clean, great amenities. Program is mediocre, and i found a waste of my time and money.

The full 8 hour Saturday class felt too long and we didn't think we would absorb everything as well in one long session. The one on one sessions were broken into two 2 hour sessions and she came to our home for only $50 more than the group Saturday all day class. She gave us a very detailed booklet that answers almost any question you may have and gave a very thorough presentation on labor/birth/newborn care/post partum care. If you're pregnant, your social media is probably flooded with different advice etc. and overwhelming you. She cleared up a lot of questions for me and made me feel a whole lot better. I'm so thankful for Amanda!

Where do I even start! I had a really rough first trimester and the first bit of relief I felt from…read morethe sickness and anxiety was my phone call with Andrea at East Nashville Doulas. I had no idea what I was doing and could barely sort my feelings, and Andrea walked me through the rest of my pregnancy and birth with unwavering support and knowledge. She went through every potential type of birth process I may experience and was supportive of whatever my birthing desires were- which ended up being an elective c-section. Having her for the pregnancy and c-section were invaluable and I wish every pregnant person could have a doula with them, no matter the type of birth they experience or desire. I will be forever grateful for her and END every time I think about my pregnancy and birth.
