\u201cWe are so very grateful to all of you because you treated us like family and opened your hearts and home to us. I am so proud of the environment our daughter was born into~ one of warmth and love and you all helped to create that. \u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are again impressed and appreciative of the care we received during pregnancy and birth with CMS. I had my first water birth and the team coached me while I caught my son! I do and will continue to recommend the CMS team to friends and family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy birth experience at CMS was fantastic! We were in the process of building a home and it was not ready to have a home birth. I know God had a perfect plan and I was supposed to deliver at CMS. Our birth team was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur oldest daughter was able to be with us and help deliver her brother. Not only did the midwives love on mom and dad and baby but they loved on our other little ones and let them help in special ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe second we got there I was overcome with peace. The midwives speak so softly and kindly. They kept me informed with everything that was happening and willing to pause the conversation during contractions. I am also thankful for the care and the availability of the midwives after my baby was born.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring my entire pregnancy I experienced love and support from everyone at CMS. I love the way everyone is treated as a friend or family, not as a patient.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t have asked for better midwives. I\u2019m extremely happy with how they blessed me and our baby with their attentiveness. They walked with me each step of the way. Helpful and supportive. I would have them deliver any baby of mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will always be grateful to the midwives for allowing me to experience the natural birth I had hoped for and for being such a great support system. (Fathers note: That was perfect! They were there when WE needed them. Once things really started moving, I never once second guessed our decision to go with CMS.) \u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so thankful that I was able to birth at CMS and made the switch at 34 weeks. If we have more children I would do a natural water birth all over again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved being able to do what I needed during labor and the gentle care after birth was also incredible. My VBAC baby was born at CMS and I can’t say enough wonderful things about the care and the staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so happy with the care I received here at CMS and I wish I could go back and do it this way for my first two. Thank you so much. You all mean so much to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new birth center was such a great place to birth. The mood was relaxed, calming, and peaceful. It was a wonderful experience and we all feel so blessed. Thank you for all the love and support.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur son was born at CMS and the entire experience was incredibly peaceful and joyful. Two things I prayed for. As a VBAC, this birth was incredibly important to me. I needed to know my body could birth my babies and the midwives offered nothing but support and encouragement. I feel so blessed to have worked with CMS. I am grateful for such a beautiful experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI had my second baby with Community Midwives. It was wonderful to have my baby in the comfort of my home. I completly trusted Michelle and Ri throughout my pregnancy and birth. I felt that they were not only very knowledgable about the entire birth process but they shared their knowledge with me. Being able to birth my baby the way I wanted was one of the most empowering experience of my life. I am very thankful to have them working in our community.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDuring my pregnancies, the two beautiful home births of my daughters, and the unexpected hospital birth of my son, Michelle and Ri have provided us with excellent prenatal care and loving guidance throughout the birthing process. I highly recommend Community Midwifery Services to any family that wishes to bring their baby safely into the world in a personal and familiar environment!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCMS has supported me and my family through both of my pregnancies and I wouldn\u2019t have it any other way. Having a drug-free birth and delayed cord clamping were very important to me and with the care of a midwife I didn\u2019t have to \u201cfight\u201d for these things. I was able to be very relaxed during labor and listen to my body and my baby with no pressure to do something I didn\u2019t want to do. I\u2019m so thankful to have a beautiful homebirth story to tell for each of my boys!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy first birth experience with CMS was watching them care for a friend of mine. I couldn\u2019t help but notice how incredibly different her experience was from my first pregnancy where I was treated with disrespect, and even contempt, by my OBGYN. Her birth convinced me that maybe it would be okay to have another child, because, obviously, pregnancy didn\u2019t have to be the way I experienced it the first time around. \u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cWe enjoyed having CMS help us deliver both our children! CMS was professional, concerned, and very well trained. If we were to have anymore, I wouldn\u2019t hesitate to use their services again. One of my favorite things about them was their concern for proper preparation. Nutrition, Nutrition, and more Nutrition and advice on a 40 week preparation for our desired birth. Many people give more attention to diet and exercise to run a marathon. I think preparation is far more important for the marathon of birth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, I\u2019m so thankful for my homebirth. Having the personal care of a midwife who lets you birth the way you want and facilitates your care based on your preference is amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n
