I switched to Boulder Nurse Midwives after becoming aggravated with the OB practice I was seeing at…read morethe time. I had an all natural birth with my first son, so I figured why not give it a shot w/ midwives? I was anxious about switching to something unknown to me, but from the very first visit I felt welcomed and at ease. I knew immediately that I would switch. I love all the midwives here, every single one of them. They always made me feel very welcome and calm. They were always reassuring and helpful with answering all of my questions and worries. When I was full term and got closer to 40 weeks I requested cervix checks, which they don't normally do, (and I agree they don't tell you much- but I was curious!), and they didn't question me about it or make me think I should do otherwise, just agreed to do them for me. They also discussed the use of Vit K after delivery, and the eye ointment- asking me how I wanted to handle it rather than telling me how it would be done. (We skipped the ointment, no issues). I went into labor very early in the morning and labored in the tub with Shaunti by my side, and then when shifts changed, Angela was there with me. They let me do my own thing, and when my contractions completely went away after hours of active labor and 2 CM dilation later, I was given choices for what I wanted to do. Instead of feeling any pressure to augment or take steps to make labor start again, it was left totally up to me. We decided my mind was a little stressed out and I was over-thinking everything, and wanted to go home to try to relax a bit and see if labor picked back up again. My water broke the very next morning after a night of on and off contractions, and I was greeted again by Shaunti. I was straight into transition with constant no-break contractions and everyone was very reassuring to me and helpful. I was ready to push within about an hour or maybe less of arriving, and I was allowed to do so without any annoying counting or direction. Shaunti suggested a way that might be quicker so I followed her direction and everyone was amazing. Every time my eyes searched the room for help I was greeted with her looking back into mine, reassuring me that I could do it. My son ended up being very big for my frame (9.7, my first son was 6.13), and his shoulder got stuck. We dealt with a shoulder dystocia for 2 minutes, which was very, very scary for all of us but she handled it wonderfully and called for back-up as soon as she felt that it was needed. I was crying and got a huge hug afterward and lots of help and kind words from everyone. I just finished my 6 week postpartum visit, and she was there for me once again, reassuring me as I talked to her about PPD. I just can't recommend Boulder Nurse Midwives enough. No regrets whatsoever about switching to them halfway through my pregnancy. I am so thankful for the love and support I have gotten from them all.

My first daughter was delivered by an OB and although I delivered her naturally, with my second…read moredaughter, I was determined to have a different experience. I chose Boulder Nurse Midwives and couldn't be happier with the care I received from beginning to end. The midwives are all friendly, knowledgeable, caring, and excellent listeners. Each visit, I felt like the midwives took as much time as I needed to provide my care and answer my questions. Although I saw four different midwives over the course of my pregnancy, the care was comprehensive and consistent. My file was always complete and the midwife came into my appointment prepared and attentive; we didn't have to spend time reviewing information that I had already shared. I felt cared for by and completely trusted each of the midwives; in the end, it would not have mattered to me who delivered me. The midwives were also very reassuring and supportive. My daughter was large and I was two weeks late, but there was no pressure for me to induce early or to consider intervention due to her size. If anything, the midwives were far more relaxed than I was! During my delivery, my midwife worked with me and let me take the lead in terms of how my delivery progressed. She provided support and suggestions but allowed me to express what I needed. When my labor stopped progressing, she gave excellent help to move things along, and when I decided I needed medication to take the edge off of the pain, it was given to me without judgment. My after care was also excellent. The midwife focused on my recovery and spent plenty of time with me reviewing how I was adjusting both physically and emotionally to my new arrival. I would recommend Boulder Nurse Midwives to anyone looking for a more holistic birth experience who still want the protection of a hospital delivery.

She seemed exasperated by me at the end of the appointment.

NP Paulina has been very generous to me. I have never met Dr. Arrigo in all that time, even though the clinic carries her name. When I became pregnant, I had to switch providers for insurance reasons. NP Paulina, under Dr. Arrigo's approval, referred me to several ultrasounds in Intermountain. When they found out I would no longer be a patient, they immediately canceled all my Intermountain ultrasounds, even though I told them not to, since I wasn't sure if I would get new ones in time. They canceled them behind my back. And I had already paid for my OB appointment so the referral should have still be in place even if I'm no longer a patient. I begged them to not cancel and let me transfer them to my new provider. Dr. Arrigo also wanted to charge me over $30 just to write a letter confirming my pregnancy so I could apply for public benefits. This person is not a good human being. She doesn't care if you're going through challenges, she makes things harder once you're no longer a "customer." Doctors need to understand that we don't choose to go to the hospital, it's a need. Yes, money matters, but there should also be care and compassion. Be human and kind. Be a doctor first, then a businessperson.
