Don’t hesitate — they are truly the best! I had the pleasure of having my first baby at a birth center with Lilly and Anna, and it was already such an amazing experience. So when I was expecting baby #2 and they told me they were now doing home birth with Melanie and Sheily on their team, I immediately knew that’s what I wanted.
They are so knowledgeable, professional, friendly, caring, and fun. They really take the time to go over every question, worry, and option, and truly get to know you, connecting with you like family or friends. Their care is exceptional before birth, during birth, and postpartum. They even come to you for appointments, which is a huge plus—especially when you have other kids.
My husband loved being involved and catching our baby at the birth center, but he was still concerned about living far from a hospital if something were to happen at home. We went through every possible risk with them, and thanks to their hospital experience, they’ve seen so much that they truly know the risks, solutions, and options. They made us feel safe and confident, encouraged us to trust our instincts, and always made sure we knew they had our backs. Once we had all the information, we knew home birth was the right choice for us—and we are so incredibly grateful we did it.
Being able to text or call them anytime—whether you have concerns or aren’t sure if it’s real labor or just a false alarm—takes away so much stress. You can’t control birth, but with them, you feel empowered—you’re able to follow your instincts, move freely, and stay connected to the process. They work with you (your baby and partner) to guide you, support you, and take action if anything doesn’t go smoothly. Knowing you’re in such good hands makes you feel safe and protected, giving you the space to really stay connected to the process, and feel deeply empowered.
And being at home makes everything so smooth and personal—your own space, your comfort, your shower/bath, your own warm birthing pool, surrounded by people you know. There’s no stress of delivering in an uncomfortable car ride, no unnecessary interventions, no pressure of time. You can choose to have your other children with you if you wish. Did I mention the shower and the warm pool?! It feels sooooo good. Welcoming your baby this way and then staying together in your calm, cozy bubble, surrounded by warm water and peace, is so magical.
I honestly believe my birth would not have been the same—or nearly as amazing—without them. They changed everything. Having them as your birth team gives you the best chance to experience the birth you dream of. 💗
