I transferred into Savannah Birthing Center in my third trimester after moving across the country…read more I had done a lot of research on holistic providers in the area and was really excited to become a patient here. At my first prenatal appointment, I sat in the waiting room as my midwife complained loudly to the receptionist that I had not completed any of my intake forms and it would set her behind for the day. It was absolutely humiliating to listen to a medical professional complain to their team about me. Upon discovering that my name was spelled wrong and they were sent to the wrong email, she did not apologize or acknowledge that it was not my fault that these forms hadn't been completed. At the beginning of the same appointment, I explained that I had a history of disordered eating and was not comfortable being weighed. I had not been weighed in 3+ years, therefore I had no pre-pregnancy weight to compare my current weight to. The midwife said she HAD to weigh me, but would hide my weight. After she weighed me, she promptly turned the computer screen towards me so I could see my weight. Devastating. This entire appointment start to finish was horrible. I got only a handful of words in the entire time. She talked endlessly about how overwhelmed she was about their new charting system and opened a can of soda halfway through my appointment. It felt extremely unprofessional and uncomfortable. I ultimately left the practice when the midwife received extremely sensitive test results I had been waiting on and did not update me about them for over a week. I called and emailed several days in a row and was dismissed. When she finally emailed me to let me know the outcome of the test results, she noted that I had access to the same test results and could read them myself, as if I am a qualified medical professional and could have possibly understood what they meant or how to interpret the implications of the results. I would not return to Savannah Birth Center at any point. I have not had such an uncomfortable and unprofessional appointment in my entire pregnancy and would not return to a practice where such little regard was held for my health and my baby's health.

Charleston is very fortunate to have a birth center that offers a midwife model of care. Lesley…read moreRathbun and Judy Osborne have created a haven for women seeking more holistic and meaningful well-woman annual visits and birthing experiences. Upon becoming pregnant, I researched and interviewed midwives all over the area. My husband was very reluctant to not use a doctor for prenatal and delivery, but I convinced him to go to a meeting at the birth center. I showed up with--and I'm not exaggerating here--FIVE pages of questions. Every question I had was answered logically and soundly either through the discussion or when asked, and afterwards I asked my man what he thought. He loved it. We chose to use Charleston Birth Place for giving birth because they offer a midwife model of care with a highly trained staff; there are only two delivery rooms, which are immaculately clean; they offer water births in spacious tubs; and they are still only a block from the hospital in case there is a need to be transferred. The typical C-section rate at hospitals in the Charleston area is between 25-50%. The C-section rate at CBP is about 10%. My prenatal care at CBP was outstanding and empowering. Until about 28 weeks you only go about once a month, but it was in the weeks that followed that this place totally shined. The staff got to know me, & I felt very comfortable there. Each prenatal visit consists of plenty of time with the midwife for examinations and to discuss any questions, and then there is an educational video of usually about 10 minutes that corresponds to where you are in your pregnancy. When it came time to give birth, I was well-educated after my prenatal visits and Bradley Method class, and I labored naturally at home with my husband for as long as we could. The Bradley class really helped us know what to do and not feel fearful about the process ahead of us that night. We headed up to North Charleston to the birth center. I was worried that the 25 minute drive would be too hard to handle, but my husband lovingly set up the passenger seat for me with cushions and supplies. I felt fine and lucid until the contractions came which simply (easy to say now) required one minute of deep breathing, concentration and relaxation. Yes, it's painful and intense, but it's over in one minute. I think I had about four contractions in the car, so basically, four minutes were challenging, and otherwise, we were carrying on a conversation together. Lesley had just started filling the tub for us when we arrived, so I had to wait a bit, and just kept up our laboring techniques for about 20 minutes or so until I could get in the warm water. When I did, it felt amazing. I mean, AMAZING. There were two other midwives there who were incredibly supportive and helpful. During transition, the midwives, my doula and my husband just kept encouraging me. Then, came the pushing. I pushed for a long time. I was determined. Most women push for about an hour to two hours during the contractions, but I was so determined to have a natural childbirth that I asked for more time and positions. My team was faithfully supportive. Finally, Lesley cried "uncle" for me, and decided that after a Herculean effort on all our parts, that maybe this baby needed some assistance from a doctor around the corner at the hospital. So, during second stage labor, with my baby stuck in my pelvis, we transferred. Let me just say that having a doula present is like an insurance policy. If you can afford it, hire one. Our doula, Mandy Wallace Reimer, was incredible. She said kind words, helped us pack up, offered massage and feel-good care, while my husband was, well, husbanding, and the midwives were handling more of the medical side of things. Once we arrived at the hospital, Lesley never left my side. She is affiliated with that hospital, and so was able to continue to care for me. She explained things to my husband and me and she advocated for us, all the while staying calm, keeping a sense of humor, and most importantly, ensuring the safety of both my baby and me. The team at Trident Hospital was very familiar with "Lesley's type of patient," that would want a very calm environment with as few interventions as necessary. I ended up being one of those 10% of CBP patients who had to give birth via a Cesarean Section. I was disappointed that my body didn't comply with what I really, really wanted and felt like I deserved, but I am deeply grateful for the amazing care I received and continue to receive at CBP, and I whole-heartedly recommend them if you are considering giving birth naturally or are seeking a midwife for well-woman care. As a rating, I give them 10 fingers and 10 toes up!

[This review is for their classes - not the birthing center/midwife services]…read more My husband and I paid for and participated in the preparing for birth class run by Jillian Hollingsworth. Under no circumstances would I recommend this class or this instructor. The description on their website claims the class is designed for "all birthing people" yet that could not have been further from the truth. I was the only mom in the class who was planning to birth in a hospital. From the moment I said this out loud, I felt ostracized. Jillian exclusively referred to me as "Hospital Mama" instead of by name. I was made to feel like I was making the wrong choice. Jillian then made sure that no one wanted an epidural or pain meds for their birth. I had planned on (and did get when it was time) an epidural but I knew better than to say so. However, she did single me out and said something along the lines of "You're not getting an epidural, are you?" We lied and said we weren't planning on it solely to avoid judgement. The class didn't provide any real helpful birth coping mechanisms or guidance on positions or breathing techniques like I was hoping. It was mostly a detailed walk through the stages of labor which was good info but not worth $250. To top it all off, Jillian allowed the class to venture into anti-vax convos and claims of vitamin K dangers that have been proven false. Several moms were allowed to share false information about black box labels and were not corrected by Jillian. Evidence-based information can be found here for other new moms and for CBP to review: https://evidencebasedbirth.com/evidence-for-the-vitamin-k-shot-in-newborns/ We left feeling so uncomfortable and wanting to never step foot back in the birthing center.

I'm so glad I went through with it--the initial assessment was incredibly insightful and has really shaped the level of care I've received. I genuinely feel like my experience has been tailored to my needs, which has made all the difference. One thing I really appreciated is how transparent they were from the beginning. They clearly explained my care plan and provided an estimate of the costs upfront. They also accept insurance and submit it on your behalf, which made the process much easier and less stressful. The space itself is beautiful, and you're there for so much more than just an adjustment. There's a dedicated area to stretch and prepare your body beforehand, followed by a calm cool-down zone. Additionally, they offer a wide range of services beyond standard chiropractic care. The staff are incredibly kind, and having draft kombucha available is such a lovely, thoughtful touch. I see Dr. Kaitlyn, and she is absolutely fantastic--so relatable, and she takes the time to explain everything she's doing and why.

Upon the first visit, I felt rushed & formed no "connection" to any nurse or doctor. Everything was gone over extremely fast, I was given no advice or information outside of a pamphlet and spent the most time during the visit talking to the woman at the front desk taking my payment. This was my first pregnancy and I didn't know what questions to even think about asking. I decided to continue going as maybe it was just one bad experience. We went back for the next appointment and they made my fiancé leave the room, I understand why this is done, but for a girl who felt no connections to anyone in this office and didn't want him to leave, it felt like they were forcing him out. It made him feel less of a part of the pregnancy as well. I know from switching that there are better ways to establish with a patient that they are in a healthy/happy relationship. I switched to MUSC & had a great experience. It is now almost a year from my appointments at LowCountry and a bill shows up (keep in mind, I paid at every appointment). I got billed twice for "96127 Brief Emotional/Behav Assmt." I called for clarification on what this was and the number on the bill isn't even registered to their billing department. So I call the office, the lady who answers was kind, pulled the bill up, and attempted to explain it as the sheet we fill out in the office and the doctor recommending a therapist to me. I told her I never had anything emotional or behavior concerns and no one was recommended to me and she continued to say "it's just the sheet" so i clarified and said "so i filled the sheet out twice?" and she followed up with "it's just insurance billing because we have to bill for that sheet." At this point, I am paying the bill and going to be done. If you want quick care with no connections and hidden fees, this would be a place for you. However, I was looking for a doctor to feel comfortable with and who cared enough to listen and educate me, as well as allowing my partner to be involved. This office is just looking at how much they can charge for every service provided and then don't even give their office enough knowledge and training to explain the bill when people ask. I, personally, wouldn't recommend either office to anyone.
