During the prenatal visits Deb and Piper eased my fears about delivery and post partum recovery without my husband. Piper came to my home while I was in labor, earlier than probably needed because I couldn't get a hold of my husband and just wasn't coping emotionally . Throughout my short and intense labor I was coached, comforted, and provided with all sorts of pain/discomfort relieving tricks (those hip squeezes are magic). At the hospital they ensured my husband was called in, kept up to date, and also recorded a video of the birth when he lost his connection at the last minute. These ladies truly made my birth an amazing experience which I never expected to feel without my husband. Thank you QCBC!!

Clarksville Midwifery helped me have my best birth experience at home. My first two births were at…read morea hospital. Each birth had its challenges. Mostly stress from hospital staff's desired procedures and their need to quicken things. From my first visit with Clarksville Midwifery to my last, it has been a great experience. They listen, take their time with you, provide you with all information, do everything they can to give you the birth you want if it's possible. Fortunately, I had no issues that would prevent a home birth. I started having inconsistent contractions at night when I was 40 weeks 1 day. I called the midwives the next morning and one came out to check on me. I wasn't in active labor yet, but my body was getting close. a few hours later I began to have more regular contractions. My midwife came out again and I was in active labor. Within the next hour my whole birth team was at my house. (I live in Hopkinsville Ky) I had full control of my birth and had the water birth I wanted. My midwife came the next day for our 24 hr check up. It was so great to be home with my family. I've had a fully medicated birth with my first baby and that recovery was awful. I was in the hospital for three days and so tired and in pain with medication. After my home birth, I was less tired and the pain was so much less. My body was allowed to take its time to be ready for birth. I did not have to have any pain medication after my home birth. I highly recommend Clarksville Midwifery! Alison C.

You will not be disappointed. Jenny and Christy are incredibly compassionate, experienced, and…read moreknowledgeable. You can put your trust in them, and the wonderful team they lead. All staff involved are an absolute pleasure to work with, and there wasn't a single question I had throughout my latest pregnancy that they couldn't answer to my complete satisfaction. Their online portal is great, their personalities are stellar, and their love of motherhood and babies permeates the room. This wasn't my first pregnancy but it was certainly my most assured, comfortable, and confident one yet. I will, without a doubt, be going to them FIRST for any future children I may be blessed with. Prenatal care, home birth, and post partum care- you cannot go wrong with Clarksville midwifery! 12/10 Recommend!! (Though, back labor I cannot recommend hahahaha)

Heidi is the best of the best!…read more In our meetings prior to labor and delivery, she was easy to talk to and very supportive of my decisions and natural birthing goals. Heidi allowed me to share with her some of the trauma that I had from my first birth and prepared me for what to expect the second time with a Doula and being able to make informed decisions. The resources she shared with me (evidenced based articles, list of what to pack, how to cope with pain, Bible verses, etc.) all helped to prepare me mentally, physically and even spiritually for my upcoming "marathon". And once that "marathon" arrived, she was on point with everything, including her wisdom of when I should leave for the hospital. Thank goodness for that because my labor progressed very quickly! Once at the hospital, Heidi really orchestrated and worked in unison with my Midwife and my other support people. She kindly instructed my Mother and Husband how they could help and even could tell my water was about to break and warned the staff so I didn't make a complete mess of the room (It was in fact Christmas Eve, so one less thing to clean up was an added plus.) Heidi coached me through every step of the way and said just the right thing to motivate and comfort me to keep going. My husband held my hand and was by my side, while Heidi helped with technique to ease pain and her words were exactly what I needed to hear to stay strong. In short, Heidi was an answer to prayer. I highly recommend her to anyone expecting, no matter if it's un-medicated, medicated or a planned C-section. Heidi has great integrity, passion and heart in all she does and I am so thankful we made the choice to have her as our Doula. It made every bit of difference!

Heidi was a blessing to our second birth experience. She calmly entered my home as I was laboring…read moreafter I contacted her and started immediately supporting me. She was by my side the whole time speaking positive affirmations and when I struggled to cope with pain she suggested different positions or techniques. She provided me with evidence based information to help me make the most informed decisions during my pregnancy and labor. Ultimately she supported my decisions and let me control my labor setting. I successfully had a 9lb baby 100% natural with no tearing and I could not have done that without Heidi!!
