Despite the hardship, all the workers, doctors, nurses, etc. are so extremely kind. In Baltimore, we are truly so blessed and "lucky" with great doctors and hospitals and St. Joseph Medical Center is a prime example of that. The team of doctors is attentive, smart, empathetic and caring. The nurses are amazing and accommodating. The center is clean and filled with messages of hope and care, especially with their specialized spiritual team.

I'm an old retired emergency physician so I know what excellent medical care is supposed to look like, and UM/St. Joe provided me with excellent care.

Desperate for a few nights of sleep in the early days of preemie baby coming home from the NICU,…read moreTeresa connected us with Njomeh. We were understandably nervous to trust someone else to take care of our fragile little one, but Njomeh put us at ease. She has a warm, loving energy that helped us relax, and our little boy loves her. She's also super prompt and reliable. We'd recommend her to anyone!

Our awesome baby showed up 50 days before his scheduled due date. Needless to say, we were totally…read moreunprepared and caught off guard. When we finally got him home, we realized we were overwhelmed. We called Overnight Newborn Care and they set us up with Claudine. She has been nothing short of a miracle. We can sleep through the night now which gives us the energy to finish our cross-country move (which was supposed to have happened BEFORE the baby came, but nooooo - yikes!). They explained everything in detail and were sensitive to our concerns about safety and care for a premie. Claudine is super sweet and has been so reliable, we actually don't want her to ever leave. She has been with us for almost 3 months now - 7 days a week - without incident! So, yeah, happy parents here. Highly recommend.

She went over all our breastfeeding needs and concerns. She showed me what to do and provided us with a game plan that works best for our family. She was a Godsend to us after multiple failures from other lactation consultants. I highly advise anyone who wants to be successful at breastfeeding or wants to start to wean, to call Lois at 410-284-8355, you won't be sorry. She was also excellent with our toddler! I can't thank her enough for all her help! She also provides Postpartum Doulas, Newborn Care Specialists, Nannies, and Baby-sitters.

Yoga is so fun to connect with my baby and also other moms. Plus Amanda is a great instructor! Some of their other classes are on the pricey side is the only thing but it's such a great resource for moms! Also their location can be a bit tricky to find but the main door is off Keswick Rd (and is stroller friendly). Walk in past the dress shop and bare to the right. There's a big parking lot in the back.

This review is is for the doula services and support groups (becoming a mom and breastfeeding)…read more I like that the becoming a mom group has a rotation of doulas who lead the group each week. That way you end up inadvertently meeting the different doulas. We went with Cara. She has a ton of experience and super chill vibe. Our hospital was not allowing extra visitors due to COVID so we signed up for a virtual doula service. She met with us a few times before the birth to review questions, birth plan, and provide support. She was also available via email for random questions that came up in between. The day of my labor I reached out to her as needed and she guided me through some of the decisions we had to make. Her support made it so that I could better advocate for myself and my baby during my labor. She was 100% supportive of all my decisions and in the end I ended up having a beautiful and quick birth. I am so happy we got a doula and recommend it to anyone no matter what type of brith you are planning on having. I found the groups to be more helpful towards the beginning of my pregnancy, especially as it was a time that COVID was just ramping up. The only issue is that the people in group vary from week to week. I think it would be nice to be able to connect with the same group from week to week so there is some continuity.

The ladies gave us such a good lesson that we didn't hesitate to call them and get a contract in place for Labor and Delivery and Post Partum support. Best decision ever! From the time they take you on as a client, they were very responsive and support in a truly non-judgy way. Unlike pushy family members and in-laws, they offered all the advice and options you want and they coach you into deciding for yourself what is best for you and your baby. They coached me as well as my husband on the various options (and there are LOTS!) and while they were in the delivery room, they reminded me of what I wanted and prevented the hospital from pushing me around. If you are on the fence about getting a Doula, I highly recommend meeting with them and finding out what they do. They anticipated needs that I needed before I even knew I needed them, and were there to provide them to when WHEN I needed it. They do so much more than you would expect.
