    I can't say enough good things about the mid-wife team I was blessed to have during the duration of…read moremy pregnancy and delivery! Every visit was sincere care and encouragement. I ended up with a high-risk pregnancy and had to be transferred to care at Cox South. This beautiful mid-wife team went with me, advocated for me, and gave me every possibly chance at the most natural birth possible. They held pressure points to relieve my contractions, they soothed me with essential oils and worked along side team I was assigned to at Cox. I ended up needing an emergency c-section after signs of preeclampsia developed into HELLP Syndrome. I was heartbroken but the Family Birth & Wellness team never left me. They truly doubled as a doula in my case and also helped me understand all the hospital lingo and presented me with more knowledge and options which put me in a strong place of power when advocating for myself and my baby. My postnatal care though is really where they won my heart. Without saying too much detail... baby was delivered c-section, however, the placenta was left in and I was sewn up with it inside of me. Cox doctors didn't believe me when I said I felt something was wrong like something was inside of me, even though my puffy preeclampsia state didn't go away after baby was born as it normally would. My midwife team however took me very seriously, monitored my blood pressure and as I got sicker and sicker post birth they determined I had an infected uterus and an appendix at risk of eruption. They immediately got me meds for my high blood pressure and sent me into the ER ASAP. ER doctors thought the assessment was ridiculous but despite push back from the ER doctors, I stated firmly, with all confidence in my midwife team, that the tests needed to be done! Yes!! Turns out my uterus was infected and my appendix was inflamed. ER doctors were in amazement and kept asking how I knew... how a midwife would know... ...and got me into surgery immediately to avoid an eruption of the appendix. So, would I trust Family Birth & Wellness with my life? And my baby's life? YES, Yes I would. Zero doubts or hesitations... because, you see, I did once, and they saved me. They have my whole heart.

    I had a really good experience the first few visits however as my pregnancy progressed it got…read moreworse. We chose a midwife because we wanted to have minimal medical intervention as possible for our sixth birth. After having five successful vaginal deliveries we were confident that our sixth delivery would be similar, easy enough we wouldn't need to go to a hospital. When I questioned the midwifes authority and said I didn't want a procedure that was dangerous to me and the baby they fired back an email saying they were severing our relationship I was 40 weeks and 6 days and without any sort of discussion they threw me out in the cold. Thankfully I was able to walk into Cox hospital two days later and have another easy vaginal delivery. My advice don't go here unless you're willing to blindly do whatever they want regardless of the safety of you or your baby.

    I am usually suspicious of reviews that rave about something - I suspect they are not quite true…read more So I have spent days trying to figure out how to write this review honestly without over praising... and I don't think I can. The truth is my experience with Dolly is the best experience with a medical professional I have ever had. We had a complex case that took over 12 weeks to resolve. If I had not worked with Dolly I am 100% sure I would not still be breastfeeding. The fact that I am now successful is nothing short of a miracle and a testament to Dolly's work and expertise. This time was one of the most vulnerable times of my life and Dolly was unendingly kind, supportive, and caring. She had to tell us several devastating things but throughout it she prioritized my needs and emotions. I remember telling my husband that I was so impressed with how she was very clearly an expert (almost 30 years experience with over 25,000 mamas!) and was incredibly connected to facts (not social media trends) and yet I felt like wayyy more than a patient to her. Even when I didn't want to prioritize my health or needs she insisted. There was a perfect combination of a confident professional with a sensitive and nurturing helper. She responded to me day and night helping me with my first time mama questions even when they were not related to breastfeeding. I am so sure I only feel as confident as I do as a mother because of her support. I seriously lost count of the amount of times we wondered if Dolly was right about something only to find out she absolutely was, even more than our pediatrician, our pediatric dentist, or our occupational therapist. She truly truly knows what she is talking about and I have never regretted following her recommendations. Working with her felt divinely orchestrated. I literally CANNOT recommend her enough. If you are looking for a lactation consultant, I have never been more confident in a recommendation. Dolly's help was LITERALLY priceless to us. With her you're in great hands!
