It was very important to breastfeed but I ran into issues such as improper latching, positioning, and supply. Beth was very knowledgeable and most importantly gave me confidence that it will get better and that I can do this with time and patience. I highly recommend her!!!

My husband and I were pregnant with our first child and weren't sure we wanted to do a home birth…read more We agreed we'd meet with Cheryl and ask questions, and we wouldn't go for it unless we both felt certain is was right. After meeting initially with Cheryl, we both were certain that we wanted not only a home birth, but her to be the midwife who helped prepare us and ultimately help us bring our son into the world. Thought there are a million reasons we'd recommend her, ill name a few big ones here: 1. Resourceful: Cheryl knows what she's talking about. She is a constant learner and goes above and beyond what is required for her CPM. Our questions were met with well thought out answers and we felt much more confident as we made our decisions on things like cord clamping, vaccinations, etc. 2. Compassionate: Cheryl cares deeply for her clients. She was a great support, and helped us process emotionally as we prepared for our birth...I hadn't anticipated that on top of our typical prenatal care. 3. Assertive: She is direct in the best way. Enough said. 4. She helps you through the waiting: i was 18 past my baby's "due date" and it was very hard. I was met with a lot of discouragement and opposition from others and Cheryl was a contact source of encouragement as we stuck to our plan to wait. 5. She was encouraging and professional as she was with us in labor. Ultimately she was exactly what we needed! Do yourself a favor and meet with Cheryl! She is so much more than a midwife to our little family

My home birth with Cheryl at Midwife KC was such a great experience! It was my first home birth, I…read morefelt like I was in good hands during my whole pregnancy and birth. I have had 3 babies at hospitals, one at a birth center and my 5th one I had a home birth with Cheryl. My home birth was my favorite experience, I enjoyed being able to labor in the comfort of my own home and have a large tub to deliver my baby and have a great midwife by my side. Cheryl was encouraging at every step along the way and she was so knowledgeable about pregnancy, labor and delivery and my newborn. If I have another baby I would definitely go back to Cheryl with midwife KC!

BEWARE!! I had two appointments with Darcie and realized I wasn't getting the care I had expected…read more After several conversations to try to resolve the issue I realized I would have to find someone else. Darcie ripped us off big time only giving back less than $400 out of the $1500 we had given as a down-payment!! For two appointments!! If you are considering Darcie I would highly recommend looking at all your options first. Darcie seemed great at first, but I soon realized I was being treated like a patient not a person. Darcie made me feel like I wasn't important and she didn't have time to address concerns that came up. She basically just bossed me around telling me what to do and never asking how I felt about things. She botched the labwork at the first appointment and still took all the money even though I had to get the labwork re-done somewhere else. Darcie had one of her friends (not part of the birthteam) sitting in at my appointment which made me feel very uncomfortable. She never once even examined my belly with her hands. I didn't feel safe with Darcie. When I called to talk about the things that were bothering me, Darcie made me feel like an annoyance and a burden!! Darcie might be a great choice if you want to feel like you're at a Drs. office with a bossy teen nurse running the show. I needed more connection than that. I needed to feel safe and that my individual needs were being addressed. Darcie always seemed rushed and too busy for questions. I'm glad I didn't stay with her but I wish she hadn't taken so much money for nothing!!! Getting ripped off like that in the middle of my pregnancy and then having to go pay someone else to actually get decent care was a very negative experience. No pregnant woman should ever be treated the way she treated me! When I found a good midwife she said that she had heard similar stories from other women that had left Darcie's care!! I hope Darcie stops taking on so many patients so she can actually treat people with respect and dignity. I could have gone to an OB and been treated better.

Where do I start? Can I give 6 stars?…read more This was our first pregnancy. Even scarier, we got pregnant in Georgia and decided to move to KC during the pandemic. AND to top it off, we don't have health insurance. We knew that we didn't want to risk going to a hospital during the pandemic and let's face it - hospitals suck. I don't care! They SUCK! A friend of a friend of my partner recommended Darcie and Dreaming Tree because she had her third child delivered by Darcie and employed us to venture down that road. We first met Darcie via Zoom before we moved and learned what the process was and how we do the deal. Darcie was clear and concise and no bullshit - which is was we want. We don't need theatrics, or stereotypes or woo-woo Instagram here's my baby hospital picture; we're creating a human and we want it delivered safely and realistically. Darcie has had 13+ years delivering babies and the team she works with might as well be called the Avengers. Flash forward to us living in KC... We meet Darcie and the team, we even go to a birthing class, we get the woo-woo pics of the sonogram and Darcie sends us to an external facility for a special ultrasound. Everything was looking good, now we just need to push the baby out. We were a couple weeks late and we learned that it's common with first time moms to be 42 weeks. As my partner finally went into labor, Darcie came to our house (by this time she was already a member of the family) and check our contractions and told me how I can help and get the house ready for our new addition. This was a long labor - 27 hours - and Darcie was here the entire time, making coffee, boiling water, timing contractions, ushering us to exercise to increase blood flow, getting some snacks in us to keep our energy right etc (seriously i her she was doing other stuff I had no knowledge of) Darcie told me in the very beginning that if we wanted to "catch" our baby as it is born that we could. And the plan was for me to catch it as a powerful meaningful experience. When the time actually came and the pushing was at the tail end, I asked Darcie to receive the baby. I'll never forget Darcie delivering our daughter and I'll always be grateful for her attention and care. That goes for her entire team as well! TL:DR Our first baby - we don't like hospitals and don't have health insurance. Generously affordable.
