    First check up after birth
    Holla P.

    Learning the natural way! I can't even express enough how I feel about my birth with Kate, Roseanne, and Genevieve. These three ladies blew me away from the start. I was very nervous at first...being that my first child was a hospital born baby and everything was insanely scary and intense. I wanted this birth to be more. I sat down and met them with my husband. They asked him how he felt and answered all his questions. He was not to sure about the whole natural thing. He had some dramatic moments with our first birth. I started to explain how scary and messed up my first birth was. They were so kind and listened the whole time. They attended to my emotions like a best friend or mother would. They understood and even told me their own stories. We really hit it off well. Each midwife had her own personality and all together the balance was amazing. We laughed a lot and each check up was very helpful. It was great to have these check ups with so much care. I got to know them and feel safe. TRUST was a big deal! My husband loved them by the end. They reassured me when any fears popped up. My baby being to big, the mess that comes with birth, the embarrassment, the ripping, the pain...so many worries. Each time I left feeling sure and ready. There was a moment when my lil guy was the wrong direction and I was in tears because if he didn't turn there was no birth happening there with them naturally!!! They kept me calm. They suggested many stretches and they even massaged me. They never gave up and their faith was catching...even my little man caught on and he turned finally! When it came to having my lil tomato of a boy it was exactly how it should have gone. Natural is all about trust and feeling out the waves. I wasn't sure if my water had broke so we waited and I got nervous. I explained I was scared of infection and she noticed my fear. She gave us a quick easy test and we were in action! I had a doula with me and we started the contraction dance. It got intense quickly but still bearable. We called her up and she was like ok I am on my way! Kate was quick to respond and came to check us out. It was still waiting time but I felt sure I could be calm and continue as I needed. Later on they stopped and we waited for a little while. Once it came back on strong off to the birth center we went. Almost there! She said if I could rest now would be the time, it was going to happen soon and fast being it our second child. So we went home and I tried to sleep. Once it got to intense we went back and this time we were ready to GO! The other midwives showed up with smiles and hugs. Me, my husband and doula were in the beautiful room with the big tub and did what we could to stay calm and feel out the intense waves. All the midwives were super perfect for me and my birth. Kate was quite and calm watching over it all. Genevieve was helping and moving about calmly. Roseanne was there telling me I was doing great. We all even made jokes in between my intense contractions. They were always keeping me comfortable. They followed my body and asked me what I wanted. Unlike a hospital where you get little voice. It got pretty hard and they asked if I wanted to try the tub. YES! I did and it was perfect! We went though it all screaming, laughing and even small cat naps till the end. Even when a moment of my little man getting stuck no one panicked and we all talked it through. Then THERE HE WAS!!! 8.5oz 21 inch long! He was big and I DID IT! No ripping (which was a Miracle because the first time we had horrible issues) no need for any med's, delayed the cord cutting (my husband was a little upset that he didn't get to cut the cord though), he even got to nurse right away! It was AMAZING! What a connection. Still brings me to tears. I LOVE them and to this day still send them photos. It might not always happen this way because everyone is their own person and birth matters! But for me this was ONE OF THE GREATEST CHOICES I EVER MADE.

    I hope they don't mind me posting a picture of them. From left to right: Genevieve, Kate and Roseanne. I got three four one.

    I gave birth 3/19/16. I was going to share some pictures, but I'd like to respond to some of the points in the 1 star review. Birth is something very special and we tend to form a picture of how we want it to happen. This is not to discredit her feelings because they are very valid and she is in her right to feel disappointed. I can relate because mine didn't go as I had imagined it either (not because of the midwives). First, we have to remember this is not a hospital. Things are handled differently. The midwives trust our bodies to do what they have to. They are there to support us and cheer us on, while being prepared for an unforeseen complication. Other than that, our bodies will birth the baby. All we have to do is eat, sleep, hydrate and trust that we were made for this. They don't panic or try to hurry things up with unnecessary interventions. To us, especially first time moms, something might seem like a huge problem, but they have been through all of this and we need to remember that we chose them. We need to have trust in them when we choose them. If after you meet with your midwife, you do not have trust or you didn't feel a connection, feel free to go else where. It is a priority that you feel safe. It's your baby and your body. If you go to the hospital as soon as your water breaks, they will induce you; therefore, missing out on the natural experience. Now, this is just MY belief, but I assume they said to not go to the hospital because if your water breaks, it's okay. You don't need doctors intervening so soon. Be patient and baby will come, within reason of course. In regards to the appointment silence: the midwives are there to answer all your questions and support you. They will not kick you out. They give you the floor. So if you are done with all your questions and you are satisfied after 15 minutes, feel free to say, "okay. Thank you. See you next time." We are accustomed to doctors getting us in and out by simply walking out of the room. The midwives' intention is not for you to feel awkward, but for you to feel they are there to listen to you and that the appointment is done when we, the mother, feel satisfied. I just wanted to add another perspective for others to take into account when looking into these midwives. I have so much love for these women. They helped me bring my son into this world after a long, difficult labor due to baby's position. Roseanne was there speaking to me softly and calming me down. When I thought I couldn't do it, they spoke to me and reassured me that I would get through it and get my baby at the end. Genevieve gave me the most awesome back massage during contractions. They were by my side the whole time and I felt like they had me, they wouldn't let anything bad happen to me. I felt like I owned the room and I could freely do whatever I needed to do in order to feel comfortable and get it done. I would do it again and will be coming back when it's time to make my son a big brother lol

    August 23, 2015 Sylas Asden Padworski SUCCESSFUL VBA2c!!!
    Ashlee P.

    I love this birth center and the AMAZING WOMEN BEHIND THE WORKS!! August 23, 2015 I had my vbac2 success story with my precious son! I couldn't have done it with out this awesome support of midwives I had. Since day one they answered all my questions, made me feel like I was in control of my birth since day one. I had a hard time looking for a practice that would allow me to have a VBac after two csections. I can't thank Kate, Roseanne, and Genevieve enough! I love this group of ladies. They made me feel so empowered, and I am so thankful for all their knowledge. I am planning to have another very soon. And I would love to experience a homebirth the fourth time around. Thank you ladies for everything I live too far to come and visit the way I want. I will be sending pictures of Sylas I cannot believe it has been a year since my beautiful water birth!

    I can't recommend Linda highly enough. As a first-time mom, my goal was to exclusively breastfeed…read morefor a full year--but around the three-month mark, it became increasingly painful and difficult. That's when I reached out to Linda, and I'm so grateful I did. She took the time to thoroughly assess our baby and quickly identified a lip, tongue, and cheek tie--something we hadn't realized. Linda clearly explained what was going on and guided us through every step, connecting us with a wonderful pediatric dentist for the procedure and an excellent physical therapist for follow-up support. Thanks to Linda's expert advice, encouragement, and reassurance, I was able to continue breastfeeding successfully. I'm proud to say I exclusively breastfed for a full year, and now begins the emotional journey of weaning. I truly could not have done it without her. I will absolutely reach out to her again when the time comes for future children, and I recommend her wholeheartedly to family and friends. She was an essential part of our journey.

    Truly a pillar of light in my postpartum experience. I had issues breastfeeding from the beginning…read moreand Linda was easily the most supportive and kind person I interacted with throughout this whole process. I could not recommend her more. If you're stuck between two lactation consultants, LINDA IS IT. I had bad postpartum depression and I can't even put into words how much Linda helped throughout our time together. I Will continue to stay in touch with her throughout my motherhood journey. What a blessing to have met her.
