I wish I had better words for what these ladies do. They are indescribably amazing.

STOP SEARCHING, AND JUST CHOOSE DALLAS BIRTH MIDWIFERY!!!! As a first time mom, things can feel…read morereally overwhelming. So many things to learn. So many things to research. So many options when it comes to midwives. I'm so thankful that my friend recommended Becky, at Dallas Birth. Becky offered customized care, consistent support, and was always professional while maintaining the perfect level of relatability and tenderness. I felt safe with Becky; her level of expertise was always reassuring. Becky helped me to have the birth I wanted; a birth where I was in control, supported, and adequately monitored to ensure that baby and I were healthy and progressing in the right direction. I plan to use Dallas Birth Midwifery again, should I get pregnant again. You won't regret choosing them!!

I got connected with Becky soon after we found out I was pregnant with our second. From the first…read morephone call-we could tell how easy she is to talk to and how supportive and caring she is. My pregnancy with my first was an overall good experience-but left me feeling a bit like a number and not a person. This pregnancy, I had so much more energy and felt much less anxious-and I owe it all to Becky's support and encouragement. "Normal" pregnancy symptoms weren't over looked and she had recommendations and cared to help me navigate every step. The way she listened and educated was really empowering and healing in and of itself. We had hour (or longer) visits and access to talk with Becky between visits in an online portal-which gave no time for concerns to fester. The way she cared for me (and my 2 year old) at each visit really surpassed expectations and I always left motivated and excited for the next visit. Being truly cared for in a medical setting is not common. All of this resulted in the easiest and quickest labor which was a huge answered prayer. She is intentional, very knowledgeable, and hilarious. Every pregnant mama needs a Becky! We were a little nervous about the cost initially-but the value and services included make Dallas Birth really a great value. So many things were included that we paid out of pocket for our first-lactation services, placenta encapsulation, birth tub, birth classes, pregnancy teas, and probably a lot more that I'm not thinking of or didn't need. And we can submit a claim to insurance after to get reimbursed. I also loved that I didn't have to research different services-Becky takes care of everything.

Hiring Kiesha to be our doula was probably the single best decision we made throughout my entire…read morepregnancy. I was interested in a natural childbirth if possible and wanted to look into having a doula to assist with that. However, assistance with the actual labor process is just one aspect of what Kiesha does. She supported me and answered questions during pregnancy. She introduced me to some great resources for breastfeeding, baby basics, and CPR classes and referred me to a chiropractor for my last month of pregnancy (which I wish I had done all along). I do not think I would have been able to have a natural birth without her. She made the entire process so pleasant and really listened to what my husband and I wanted with zero pressure. Her postpartum care may be the thing I am most thankful for. Without her I wouldn't be breastfeeding my baby. I just can't say enough good things. If you are thinking of hiring a doula, do it, and call Kiesha!

I loved that I was given the opportunity to listen to my own body and avoid invasive procedures during prenatal visits. I labored at the birthing center from 6:30pm and 8.5 hours later my daughter came. This was a longer active labor than intended, but through each obstacle Joy and Christina remained patient, calm, and knew exactly what to do to deliver my daughter safely. My family who were previously nervous that I wasn't seeing and OB or delivering at a hospital, (I'm 4'8", 100lbs pre pregnancy) and after experiencing my birth they absolutely loved being able to be apart of something so beautiful. My daughter is healthy, strong, and striving! I am so happy to have had the opportunity to have my baby here!

I can't express enough how grateful I am to the midwives and nurses at ABC! This is my 8 weeks…read morepostpartum and here is my story. My husband got laid off when I was several weeks pregnant so we didn't have insurance. When I called some OBs, the moment the front desk person knew that I didn't have insurance their voice changed and assumed I couldn't afford it. So I thought I would try a midwife instead. I decided to call ABC after some research. The first call with Josephine was really nice, then the first tour of the place was great. We booked our birth there right away. Everyone there is very nice, relax and make us feel very comfortable. They treat me more like a friend and less like a patient. Even though I didn't know my exact due date (2 weeks off) or I had GBS positive or I had gestational diabetes, they made me feel confident that everything is alright and I would have a fine baby. I'm also glad that we took the birthing class at ABC, they taught us what kind of exercises to practice for a smoother labor. Or you will know the signs of real vs. false labor so you won't jump in the car at the first contractions. Take the class, you won't regret it! My early labor was from midnight into the morning and I pretty much slept through it. In the morning I felt waves of pain that came and went and when I saw the bloody show I knew it was time to call ABC. We arrived 2 hours later, they were already waiting for us. I labored in the bathtub for a while and had our baby shortly after (3hrs after we arrived). It was a satisfying birth! There were 5 midwives at a time there for me and baby. What a privilege! It took them 6 hours to fix me up and get me ready to go home with the baby. I really appreciate how patient and gentle they were (I couldn't get up to the bathroom and then couldn't empty my bladder). And then they took their time to stitch me up gently. Krisha was the last to leave, she made sure I was well enough to go home. She was so sweet!! All and all, I want to say big thanks to everyone in Allen Birthing Center (Rebekah, Kristen, Josephine, Diane, Lauren, Lana, Krisha and Amy) for being excellent at what they are doing. I'm looking forward to having my next babie(s) there! Notes for expecting mamas: - Don't just prepare for labor, prepare for postpartum as well. My first 2 weeks was 10 times worse than labor!! - Take the birthing class - Listen to midwife and control your breathing, it makes a difference between painful and blissful labor.

This journey involved learning all about birthing centers, different types of midwives, different requirements/restrictions with each scenario, etc etc. We visited various birthing centers in Dallas and the surrounding areas but ultimately, and to our great satisfaction and appreciation... we were connected to Sweet Pea Midwifery and Olivia Delavega. We felt a huge sense of relief, because for my wife and I, having our baby in the comfort, energy, ambiance and convenience of our home checked all the boxes... Olivia, her team and her network were wonderful. Our experience with Olivia, Tabby and Iana (our Doula; within Olivia/Tabby's Network) was incredible. Well organized, cohesive, logical pregnancy plan coupled with a very informative and great emotional support structure from Iana. At no time did we feel pressured to do anything. Free will and free choice should be pervasive throughout our lives, but more and more it feels like some of those freedoms are slipping away. That wasn't the case with Sweet Pea Midwifery. We chose to have a 100% natural, zero pain intervention birth at home. Old School style... like they did for 1000's of years. At each step and with each choice we discussed the pros, the cons, the risks of each with Olivia and Tabby, asking countless questions, and in the end we chose the path that made the most sense for us and felt fully supported by the whole team. If we have another child, we will absolutely return to Sweet Pea Midwifery. I just can't say enough good things... this review would go on and on. Thank you so much Olivia!!!

Although my birth was incredibly fast, Olivia was such a help to me. Not necessarily because of what she did, but how she encouraged me and empowered me to birth my baby. I have had 3 babies previously (with different providers in a different state) and not once did I feel confident taking the reins during the actual pushing. I always waited for other providers to tell me it was okay to start pushing, but with Olivia, I was confident and comfortable enough to let me body do the work and rest in that. Even when she gave me advice, they were more helpful suggestions than commands that I felt in previous births. I so appreciated her aid and reassuring presence. Postpartum care was also phenomenal and our whole family felt very loved and cared for. Olivia and Tabby have become friends and if we were to have any more babies, I would love to be in their care again. Thank you, Sweet Pea Midwifery, for such a beautiful experience that I will treasure forever.

Then when they flat out ignored my test results and shamed some of my personal decisions, I decided to find a care provider that my husband and I wouldn't have to fight with during labor. And boy did I. It was night and day. Ashley was on my team, she is insanely intelligent and knowledgeable, she actually made me feel relaxed about labor, she had lots of information about everything when I needed it but ultimately supported me making my own decisions. I felt like if something went wrong during labor, I could actually trust her to put my and my baby's health first before anything else. Baby girl delivered 100% naturally, 10 lbs 4.4 oz, 22 inches long, and a giant head (92nd percentile I believe). No stitches. Quick postpartum recovery. And when baby girl's shoulder got stuck, Ashley knew exactly how to move baby and I to get her out with no injury to anyone. I was able to walk out and go home 3.5 hours after delivery... talk about non-traumatic. I know that would have been a different story if I stayed at the hospital. I'll always be so thankful for Ashley and her sweet assistant. Her birthing center is so lovely too. The drive over there puts me in a good mood because of how serene it is. The center itself is so clean and private and comfortable. It felt like heaven compared to the discomfort I felt at the hospital. Bonus that for postpartum visits I don't have to bring my newborn around a ton of people at a hospital. Thank you Ashley!!!

She listens without judgment, advocates for your wishes, and truly honors the beauty of birth and motherhood.

From the beginning, everything was explained very thoroughly and my questions answered. The prenatal visits were very relaxed, not rushed. My options were explained to me, and I was always given the freedom to choose what I wanted to do. The Midwives at LLBC are all kind, patient, and knowledgeable. You get to meet with all three Midwives so that you are comfortable with whoever is on call when you go into labor. Krystal helped me so much along the way and referred me to a chiropractor, doula, and lactation consultant who were all professional and wonderful. The birthing center itself is nice and has a peaceful, relaxing environment. During my labor, Krystal was so patient and helpful. She explained everything that she was doing throughout the entire process, provided me with options, allowed me to make my own decisions, and answered my questions kindly. Due to failure to progress (I was not dilating past 3 cm despite multiple unsuccessful strategies to progress labor and change my baby's position.. he was sunny side up and stuck on my pelvic bone..) and prolonged rupture of membranes (it had been 20 hours since my water broke) Krystal recommended I transfer to higher level of care. Although the way I delivered was not how I planned, I was grateful to Krystal for recognizing the signs early enough to recommend the transfer before it became emergent. In the end I had a healthy baby boy and I'm grateful to the team at LLBC for their help! They have been wonderful postpartum as well!
