I can't say enough good things about Birthing Your Way! I loved my prenatal care, I always felt…read morecomfortable asking tons of questions during my pregnancy. The midwives were caring and attentive and had great recommendations. They supported my decisions and preferences like choosing not to ultrasound and using a fetascope instead of a Doppler. During my labor and birthing time they were supportive, relaxed, non-invasive, and completely encouraging and helpful. Due to their help, I didn't tear or hemorrhage and I had an amazing birth experience. My sons birth was one of the highlights of my life and I'm so glad I chose Birthing Your Way. After birth, the midwives took excellent care of me, cleaned me up, helped me breastfeed my baby, kept my husband and I fed, never rushed us, and were so kind. If you're looking for an awesome birth staff and birth environment, I'd highly recommend Birthing Your Way. Note-- Before choosing Birthing Your Way, I'd seen a few really negative reviews online which made a little nervous. After my experience, I'd say something I really loved about the midwives is that they are honest. If you want or don't want something, you need to tell them directly. If you communicate with them and don't assume anything, you'll have a great experience. They totally want to support you, but you have to do your part and communicate assertively. Also, just go in and meet the midwives if you're considering Birthing Your Way.

Mamas, if you read any review about Birthing Your Way, I hope it is this one--not to deter anyone…read morefrom making the choice to birth here, but so you can have a holistic view of what this facility offers--or more importantly, what it doesn't offer. I do not believe that Birthing Your Way offers a safe environment for the patients or the employees. I took a tour of Birthing Your Way a little while ago when we were deciding where to birth our second baby. Heather, while polite, was fairly distant with us and not particularly welcoming. While we were touring the facility, a woman who was quite obviously in advanced labor tried to check into the center--or her husband did, since the mother was distressed and seemingly in a lot of pain. Heather acted almost inconvenienced when this laboring mother showed up--she seemed flustered and unprepared. The other midwife quickly tried to rush us through the rest of the tour, giving us a contract sheet and inviting us to sign then if we felt like we liked the facility. We left without signing. I was also concerned with how Heather talked to the other employees at the facility. She was very short and impatient with them and seemed disorganized and frazzled. The midwife who gave us the tour mentioned that most midwives do not stay long at the birth center. When we asked why, she vaguely said that they just move on to other things since many of them are students. However, after observing Heather's behavior for just thirty minutes, I wonder if her leadership attitude and lack of warmth and kindness towards her patients and employees contributes to the turnover rates at Birthing Your Way. Mamas, you want a birthing environment that is welcoming, unhurried, and peaceful. Where you birth your baby matters. I am truly happy for those who had a positive experience here, and I hope that happens for the majority of women, but I implore you to think critically about what you see here before you make a decision. Real changes need to be made before this center can be considered a safe place to birth.

Working with Destiny Olsen was one of the best decisions we made during our first pregnancy…read more Immediately upon meeting her during our initial consultation, we felt connected and a huge relief that she was able to walk us through our first pregnancy. Destiny is a guide, sacred witness, educator, incredibly skilled and knowledgeable in the birth world, but most importantly a present, loving, and deeply respectful human. She supported us throughout the whole process and was available for check/ins, meetings, and provided us with so much helpful information, resources, and referrals in the birth community.  She is a throughout communicator and is very organized and well connected in the birth community. She is deeply respected as an expert and we felt trustworthy of her and her recommendations/information provided.  If you are exploring a birth doula or postpartum doula, I truly cannot recommend Destiny more. She is a delightful human to be in your circle during such a potent time as pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She brings knowledge, evidenced base research, as well as an embodied, heartfelt, intuitive wisdom.

Postpartum care was necessary for support and integration with a new baby. She did an overnight with us, day time education, lactation support, organizing and overall emotional support. I cannot say enough things about destiny and how amazing she is. Hands down best decision to have a doula and more specifically Destiny in our corner!

All of my wishes for my delivery were respected and I felt so supported by my nurses and Dr. I love that I wasn't moved rooms after delivery. The rooms are so big and comfortable. My baby was put under lights for high bilirubin and he was able to stay in the room with us. The staff that come in to clean the rooms were also very nice too. I really did not have a single complaint about the experience I had. The lactation consultant came in and made sure my breastfeeding journey got off to a good start. Shout out to my doctor, Dr Orr, who was so respectful of my birth wishes. Things I thought I'd need to fight for were followed without complaint or bother. I knew what I wanted for my birth and she made sure that I was well informed and she respected every wish I had. Shout out to the amazing nursing staff, especially Chelsea who caught my baby and encouraged me through a surprise natural delivery. I wish I had gotten the other nurses name through my delivery, but I didn't. My postpartum nurses were great; Chelsea, Tristin, Mindy, Irina, and Connie. The ladies who came to clean my room were also very nice; Kenzie and Amanda. The food was amazing too! Who knew a regular menu item at the hospital would be steak or salmon. My husband said the salmon was the best salmon he's ever had. Also, roasted almonds with breakfast, mmmm!

My labor experience wasn't the greatest, but the staff made it all so much better. They gave me a wonderful experience that I can share with my friends and family for a life time. I came into the hospital at 6am on June, 22nd. Cynthia Labor and Delivery was our first nurse. She was so kind and amazing! When my labor started she was right next to me to make sure I was comfortable. Dr. Rose was the anesthesiologist who gave me the epidural. I was told by many friends and family how the epidural is so painful. Dr. Rose, came into my room and had me laughing before she started and after she was all done. She was making jokes and singing well giving me the epidural. I can say the whole time I never felt any pain. She was so amazing! my husband and I quote the little things she said. I brag to people how amazing she was. I'm truly so thankful for the fun memories she gave me. not many people can say that about their epidural. Our next amazing nursery was Kanzy. After many hours of labor we found out I needed a C-Section. I was so upset and worried when I found out. I cried, because I didn't want a C-section, but I was willing to do whatever it took to make sure my baby was going to come into this world healthy. While I was crying my Nurse Kanzy, looked at me and told me she was going to be with me the whole time in the OR. I was so thankful for those kind words. After she had said that I felt so much better. I knew not only was I in good hands, but so was my baby. Kanzy was so patient and kind with me. She truly has an amazing heart. While I was in the OR I had another anesthesiologist who helped take care of me. I feel horrible because I can't remember his name. I wish I wrote it down. However, I remember him being so kind while I was scared out of my mind. I had horrible shakes in my arms and he was trying to calm me and told me the shakes are totally normal to have. I was very thankful to have such a caring person looking after me. Our next nurse was Jenny in Mom/baby until. I just have no worlds for how amazing she was. We where lucky enough to have her take care of us two night in a row. She was sweet and loving toward us and we just loved her. Our next nurse was Raelynn. Raelynn was and is such a sweetheart! I felt so bad for her! we where such a needy family and she always came into our room with a smile and was so happy to help us. She took care of us three days in a row. My husband, baby, and I felt so lucky to have her take care of us for three days! When she helped me to the car I so badly wanted to give her a hug. I was in a lot of pain and needed to sit down right away. So, I didn't get a chance to hug and thank her for taking care of us. I wish I could have given her the biggest hug! The last nurse to take care of us was Tabatha. She was so cute and funny! she kept us laughing for sure! She took care of us on our last night in the hospital. I was so thankful for her little jokes. She kept me smiling while our baby was keeping us up at night. Cynthia, Kanzy, Jenny, Raelynn, and Tabatha, Are such amazing, care, wonderful, sweet people! I truly don't know how I got so lucky. I'm sure all the staff at Intermountain Hospital are all amazing, but I for sure got the best staff. When we were driving away from the hospital, I cried for many reasons. I cried because we were moving onto the next chapter of our lives and I couldn't be happier. I also cried because I was so thankful for the Nurse's and Doctors I had to take care of us. I was truly going to miss seeing them all. I tell everyone how amazing the staff is and how anyone and everone would be so lucky to be at this hospital! I can't say this enough, Thank you to all the nurses and Doctors who help bring my baby into this world and thank you for taking such good care of us. Thank you! Love, The Ricks

There seems to be a lack of information online about this process. Before you go, if you would…read morelike an estimate of the costs, imc provides a number you can call and they will provide a cost estimate. It may take you 4-5 calls to get it. They quoted us about 5k for two days or less. Remember your wife and newborn will be getting separate bills. If your having a boy, circumcism is usually done outside of the hospital. You will also have your obyn fee and epidural are separate fees. Epidural is likely 1-3k depending on length for routine vaginal delivery. Your insurance coverage will determine how much you pay. Our ob told us to go to labor when water broke, but apparently you do not need to go until contractions reach a certain point. if you have pre register, you go in, they ask your wife to weigh and ask her to answer some written questions about whether or not her husband is beating her. They ask this to all women because apparently women are unable to speak for or help themselves without their intervention. Accusing one's husband of abuse prior to birth always improves everyone's spirits prior to treatment. Once admitted they take you to your labor room. Its a private room and a labor nurse will introduce herself and get you situated. Your wife will lay in a bed. There is a chair or couch area the support person can sit. The nurses change at 7am and 7pm. A lot of your experience will depend on your assigned nurse. Nurses seemed competent but they are not Dr.s. Unless you have complication, will likely briefly see dr until baby's head is crowning. Once born, they clean up your baby, let you have an hour with the baby if you choose and offer to inject them with vitamin k and apply antibiotic eye drops. VitaminK was not the pzfizer one, so its was supposed to be preservative free. Your 48 hour insurance stay begins minute baby is born. After about an hour and a half, they take you upstairs in a wheelchair to maternity. Similar type of room. Its a private room with bed, bathroom, shower and Tv. There is also a couch, rocking chair and normal chair. Imc has some free guest wifi service. Maternity nurse introduces policies and procedures and asks for your pronouns. They leave a sandwich for your wife if baby born when cafeteria is closed. You are able to order meals from a room service menu from I think 6am to 7pm during your stay. Husband or support person gets one meal during stay as part of your room costs. Nurses change at 7am like labor. In our experience some great nurses and some terrible ones. They start testing your baby for all kind of things and monitor your wife's vital signs during your stay. They also seek to inject your baby with hep b shot soon after arrival in maternity. Its good to have a birth plan for both labor and maternity. In the morning, someone from your ob's office will check on you and your pediatricians. If you do not have staff pediatric will check on your child. We watched when baby was taken out of room, once we saw a nurse with a syringe injecting something into our child's mouth. We questioned our room nurse and she told us it was sugar water to calm the baby. This was done without our consent. So be aware when you do not have child in room with you. They have lots of questions they ask your wife. My wife was tired and exhausted and chose to opt out of some questions. The nurse called in social services to interrogate my wife because she opted out. It's important for everyone to understand they are creating a database about you and you do not have to answer any of their questions. They are not your friends. Basically anything you say may be used against you in the future. I am not sure why any woman would answer questions on postpartum depression. Best to seek treatment yourself without state intervention. They asked my wife if she was suicidal? If she wanted to sign up for food stamps. Perhaps, their own racism as my wife is not white. My wife has a professional job and would never qualify for food stamps. Also, the obligatory does your husband beat you and are you endangered questions. For some reason, they seem to think these types of questions are good to ask their patients. They were highly offensive to us. We should push back. I am not sure where else you pay 10-20k for services to be treated this way. Imagine if you were buying a car and they asked you this type of stuff. If you wanna know extra costs or their procedures on billing during your stay, they will say call your insurance. If on a weekend, you will have to wait to get any potential answers. Apparently, if you leave in middle of night you are good to be discharged but if in the morning you will have to wait for ped and ob to show up. Lactation specialist was wonderful. We had about 5 nurses. 2 were great 2 horrible and one bad. Nursing care will determine whether your experience is positive or negative at imc.
