Amy delivered my daughter last year in October. I had to be induced because of going past 41 weeks. Amy was very professional,knowledgeable, comforting, and reassuring from the moment I met her and throughout the postpartum period. I would not have had this experience with the hospital. She amazed me during my delivery. She handled any issue that came up quickly and with ease. I had no complications because of this. I also loved the postpartum massage that you get several days after giving birth. It felt amazing! She treated my daughters jaundice quickly, and set us up with a bili blanket so she could be treated at home. Even a year later, I contacted her after moving to NY for some post breast feeding issues. She was happy to answer my questions and give me advice! I am so glad I chose to have my baby delivered by her. If I lived closer I would have the rest of my future babies delivered by her! I had such an amazing experience! I can't say enough good things about Amy! read more

Amy Leland a woman with TRUE GIFT from above, this is way more then just midwife,doctor, nurse etc. She actually really cares, and that is exactly where you want to be. P.S. If she may seem mean sometimes do not be afraid, that's just imagination;) behind all the seriousness there's a real woman with a REAL heart of gold, I promise. And if you happen to meet Lisa, then you were blessed with perfect amount of sweetness at the right time. Blessed birth it is, name says it all. read more

As their website states, Blessed Births is a "Family Wellness and Birth Center" owned and operated its principle midwife - Amy Leeland. I found Blessed Births through an online search shortly after moving to the Greenville, SC area and could not have been more happy with my choice of a midwife and birth center. The Blessed Births facility is very comfortable, homey, and welcoming while at the same time feeling very professional, clean, and medically up-to-date. Their receptionist, Olga, is a real sweetheart and I can't say enough good things about how she battled for literally an entire year to get us full coverage on our birth through our insurance company. She was always fun to chat with at every visit and during my postpartum visit she even held my little one for me while I had my checkup. In my opinion, Amy Leeland is a perfect blend of compassion, dedication, trust, and intuition in a midwife combined with a professional, no-nonsense dedication to keeping every patient 100% safe and healthy. I felt like she respected both my intuition and my natural ability as a woman to birth a child while at the same time remaining very in-tune and attentive to any "warning signs" that might indicate a need for outside medical intervention. I didn't feel like I was taking any risks with my health or my baby's health while I was with Amy, and I always felt very safe and well-cared as her patient. My birth - in July of 2010 - could not have been a better experience. First births can many times be very long and arduous, but at Blessed Births my first child was born after less than six hours of hard labor, with only twenty minutes of pushing. And he was almost 10lbs and 22 inches long! I really believe I was able to enjoy such a successful natural birth because I had the freedom to be up and moving around while I was in labor and such a comfortable and supportive environment during delivery. If you are from the Greenville, SC area and you're looking for a professional, dedicated midwife with a great birth center and friendly, helpful staff definitely check out Amy Leeland and Blessed Births! (Note: I wasn't asked or paid by Blessed Births to do this review. Amy and I had a good patient/midwife relationship while I was her patient, but I'm in no other way affiliated with Blessed Births and/or receiving any compensation from Blessed Births for this review. Over 'n out. ;) read more

We interviewed several differed birthing centers and midwife groups and decided to go with Blessed Births. During our interview with Amy she was very pleasant. She assured us that very few women have to go to the hospital and that they are equipped at the center to handle most emergencies. She also assured us that she had "admitting rights" and was very vague about what happened if you did go to the hospital however made it sound like she would be with us if anything happened. I labored at home for most of the experience. I went to the birthing center and was there about an hour prior to pushing. After pushing for 2.5 hrs the midwife who was on call (Amy is not the only one who works there) told us that we had to go to the hospital. I do agree with this decision. Thankfully we had an amazing doula who went with us to the hospital. We really feel like she did most of the work... Not the midwife. Mind you, we paid separately for the doula we had. Since we did not labor long or deliver at the birthing center and did not have any direct postpartum care (and we now have hospital bills in addition to the birthing center bill) we asked Amy if we could be reimbursed a portion of our money. We knew there would be a chance that she would not however we thought it couldn't hurt to ask. Not only was she defensive, rude, and unprofessional, but she also never returned phone calls to confirm with us. We were very disappointed because we had high hopes for this birthing center. We felt cheated and hurt that she was so rude to us when we felt that we asked in a respectful manner. We would have understood if she said no, however the way she went about it was a Jekyll and Hyde moment... Very different from the pleasant Amy who was trying to get our business. We will not return with our future births nor will we recommend this center to anyone. Make sure if you decide to go with this birthing center that you know the following: 1. Amy is not the only midwife and she does not always tell you when she will be gone. 2. A midwife does not go with you to the hospital if you must go for any reason not just if you choose. 3. There is no such thing as alternative payment plans and Amy is not understanding. 4. Amy does not lie to you, however we did feel that she misled us to believe she would definitely be the one to deliver us and that she would be with us at the hospital if we had to go. read more

Truly a "Blessed Birth" ... I had a wonderful experience at Blessed Births in June 2011 when my daughter was born. Beginning with my earliest prenatal care, Blessed Births' midwife and owner Amy Leland took a deep interest in me and my pregnancy. During my various prenatal visits, Amy always took the time - no matter how busy she was - to sit and talk and answer all of my questions. She referred me to a wonderful birthing class. She empowered me to feel ready to birth my baby. When the day arrived, my labor and delivery were everything for which I had hoped. Amy let my husband and me work through my labor while she was in a nearby room. She would check on us periodically and offer encouragement. When I had fully progressed, she and her nurse created a warm candle-lit environment in the bathroom and I was able to ease into the large garden tub to begin pushing. I delivered my little girl in the water and Amy caught her and laid her on my chest. It was an amazing experience! After my daughter's birth, I experienced a fairly serious hemorrhage. At this point Amy was all business, and she and her nurse gave me an injection and setup an IV to rehydrate me and get my blood pressure back to normal. She offered the option to transfer me to the hospital, but I chose to stay at the birth center. Amy then asked us to stay an extra night at the center so she could monitor my health. I was so glad that we stayed the extra night because she helped me with some breast feeding issues and spent a lot of time with the 3 of us after she finished seeing her patients that day. If you would like a warm, peaceful place to give birth under the care of an extremely astute, professional, and caring midwife, Blessed Births is the place for you! read more

I was very very pleased with my birthing experience at Blessed Births! My first birth was not at all what I wanted (in a hospital with rude staff and no encouragement) This time I chose to go to Amy! She is always there for you day or night! She always encouraged the natural alternative and was ALWAYS respectful of your choice. Her student midwife Vanessa was also great. I will definitely go back if I have another child! read more

Blessed Births - Absolutely the best birthing center! - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

See all

Currently the practice is not accepting new patients which I suspect is due to covid. All seems reasonable. Therefore I never got to be a patient there. What is not acceptable as a business is to ignore emails, ignore phone messages, and not post anything on Facebook or the website about the fact that they are not accepting new patients. I only found out this information by stopping by the Blessed Births physical location to check for any updates regarding temporary closures since I couldn't reach anyone by phone or email. While in front checking for updates posted on the door, I was rudely told they are not accepting new patients. Granted I had no mask because I just stepped out of my car and wasn't expecting to talk with anyone, but neither did the individual I spoke with. I am glad this experience happened because it saved me from dealing with them for birth. I could never trust them after this. Very very disappointed. read more

I moved back to Greenville after having lived away for the birth of my first child with a good, but not great, midwife experience. When I became pregnant I begin to look for midwives in the area and went for a tour at Blessed Births. My experience with Amy was wonderful and I am back again currently for my third child. She is just what I was looking for with her knowledge, understanding and experience. If you are on the fence about a natural birth let me encourage you, YOU CAN DO IT! read more

I honestly can't say enough amazing things about Amy and her staff! everyone was so kind and patient to a degree I've never seen before anywhere. I knew the moment I found out I was pregnant (my first) I had to deliver with a midwife. Even though I live in Atlanta, GA I knew Amy was the only person I could see the minute I spoke to Sheila (front desk) on the phone, and that decision was only made stronger once I met Amy in person. Every single appointment I had I felt respected and that I was actually a valuable human to Amy and to Paige. My actual delivery was dramatic and unusual (fortunately my daughter and I stayed healthy the whole time despite the crazy) but I was determined to deliver naturally and Amy gave me every chance to keep fighting and supported me through all of it. If it wasn't for her I know for a fact I wouldn't have gotten the birth of my dreams and I owe the health of my sweet baby to her and her care. I will reccomend Amy to anyone who is pregnant every single time I'm asked anything about my pregnancy/birth. Blessed Births rocks! read more

I honestly had high hopes for this place! Between the great reviews and 1st phone call I really thought I was in for a great experience. Unfortunately, 1st impressions are huge for me and this place dropped the ball. I arrived for a 9AM appointment at 850...the was no one to at the front lobby aside from the 2 other people waiting. At 930 someone finally came to "check us in". She didn't introduce herself or explain what was going on. At 945, I asked when the 900 tour would start and if this was normal--she ROLLED her eyes and stated the midwife would be in when she could be. At 1000 the midwife (who was mostly kind) came down for a group tour. I asked if she could advise the pricing as that was why I needed to come in. She glanced at my paper work and stated she could call me in a few days to discuss. WORST customer service ever!! read more

I feel very blessed to have come to Blessed Birth. I have delivered 2 babies with Amy and plan to go back for future births as well. I don't think I have met anyone like Amy Leland. I firmly believe she was endowed all her characteristics by God to do what she does...she is a natural! I always sensed her deep dedication to what she does. She was sincerely interested in my wellbeing. There were times my hormones got the best of me, and as much as I tried to contain my fear and anxiety, Amy would sense it and helped me battle any negativity right there on the spot. She addressed my concerns with such wisdom that I still ponder on those words to encourage me even now. I am not strong by nature and often felt overwhelmed, but she instilled it in me that I can do it...and with God's help I did! If your desire is to take charge of your pregnancy/delivery and experience all those beautiful moments naturally, then I would wholeheartedly recommend this clinic. May God lead your heart... read more
