They are all…read moreso kind and supportive and did everything they could to make the process as comfortable as it could have been. The birthing rooms are very nice. There's a bed, bathroom, shower and a very large tub, which my wife loved. The midwives are very responsive. My wife had a 37 hour labor. Once active labor began we were at the birth center from 10pm to 9am and they were of course with us the entire time giving incredible support. My wife had to be transferred to a hospital because of a host of complications that were out of our control. The midwives arranged everything with the hospital and drove with us to the hospital and stayed with my wife until she was in her hospital room. Post-natal care has been phenomenal as well. The lactation advice has been a game changer. Sweet people, loved working with them! Thank you so much Bethany and Vicky!

I was referred to MiLC by hospital staff at Sutter Davis Hospital and by another mom…read more After seeing several lactation consultants and feeling kind of confused w/ continual challenges, Bethany at MiLC helped simplify everything, bust the myths, and give me and my baby a strong direction forward. We have been comfortably and confidently nursing after just a few visits, and I will likely continue to check in as long as I am lactating. I love that they take many different insurances and have a functional home-like space. They also provide hot teas and adorable teacups. Don't hesitate to talk about postpartum mental health, birth control, return to work, bottles/pumping, or other related topics. They will help where they can and often know where to refer for various things. Bethany is very knowledgeable, direct, and supportive. I love her sense of humor. She has helped me brainstorm and problem solve for things no one else on my care team has been able to. They fill a much-needed gap and do incredible work. Also, talking with Lindsey at the front desk feels like being wrapped in a warm blanket. :) All new mamas deserve the kind of help provided at MiLC.

Painful isn't enough to describe the experience. Pregnant with my second son, I didn't want to repeat the experience. Knowing I am likely birth fast again, I wanted to go without pain meds again, with as much help I can get, and natural birth of the planceta. I reached out to Tashina pretty late in my pregnancy. Knowing my situation, she responded to my email right away and managed to squeeze me into her schedule. She did a very thorough interview with me and my husband, fully understood what experience we are looking for and made amazing recommendations. She recommended me with a hospital I wasn't aware of that has great staff and with midwifery care. Since I was late stage pregnant (32+weeks), she pulled all her strings to help the new hospital accept me as a patient. And all the way up until the delivery date, she was only one text/call away for any questions I had. The birth was still painful, but with the midwifery care, Tashina's preparation with me and my husband, the hot tub setup, and her being there as my advocate, the birth was quick, smooth, and no manual extraction of placenta! My second son was almost 8lbs and no tear or stitches. Even weeks after birth, Tashina came visit and always checked in with me to help me with breastfeeding issues, baby colic issues etc. Tashina is so knowledgeable, caring and loving. We will always appreciate her help and she will always be a special person in my second sons life!

Other than her deep knowledge of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, there is something extra special about Tashina and the calm presence she brings into your pre and post birth space. She not once shied away or avoided any of my questions or expectations for my birth and was so understanding of my boundaries around specific things. I felt absolutely safe and held by her to surrender to birth completely. Moreover, she helped my husband feel confident in supporting me in a natural birth too. All I can hope for is to have her at any of my future births as well! :) Thank you Tashina!

This was a very special birth because I didn't really need to fight. I had a good team that understood my trauma. Amy was very helpful for my PTSD while birthing. Although I wasn't being assaulted and listened to with this birth I still needed that calming support and Amy offered me that.. I was very lucky to have Amy. Thank you.

She emphasized the importance of postpartum care and went above and beyond by meeting with us afterward to answer our newborn questions, offer lactation guidance, and share additional postpartum resources. Amber is exactly what I needed in a doula--calm, genuine, smart, nurturing, resourceful, and a true advocate. We are beyond grateful and blessed to have had her by our side. I cannot recommend her enough!

Amber was absolutely wonderful and I would highly recommend her to both new and experienced moms! Amber came to our house a couple weeks before my due date and spent time educating my husband and I on what to expect for the rest of my pregnancy and throughout the labor and delivery process. She ran through various scenarios that may have come up and presented us with options and information to help us make decisions on what was right for our family. I really appreciate that Amber never pushed us in one direction or the other but rather presented the facts and let us choose what we felt was best. Amber was extremely quick to respond to all my emails and texts and was constantly providing us informative resources. With all information out there these days, it was such a relief to have a go-to person that I could trust to point me in the right direction. Finally, it was so comforting to have Amber's support during delivery. She has an extremely calming presence and it was amazing to haver her in my corner. I would definitely love to work with Amber again for future pregnancies and am so thankful for everything she has done for my family and I!
