I had the majority of my prenatal appointments with Midwife Grace at the Family Birth Center. She was so sweet and made me feel very calm and excited about giving birth at the center. She was very thorough during all my prenatal appointments and always kept me in the loop about lab results and the next steps etc.
When I went into labor, Midwife Steph immediately responded to my 3 am call and promptly met me at the center as per my request. After examining me, we decided that I would continue laboring at home, as it was still early on and I was only 3 cm dilated. By sunrise things had progressed quickly and my hubby and I made our way back to the birthing center. I already had the urge to push in the car and my partner parked infront of the center's entrance, where a couple of midwives rushed out to assist.
Midwife Danika was amazing and was the one coaching me through the quick birth. She listened to my concerns and encouraged me to listen to my body. After only a couple of pushes my son was safely born in the back seat of the car with Danika's help. All the midwives there were so wonderful and I can highly reccommend the center if you are wanting an unmedicated, low intervention and calm birthing experience.
