I could not say anything better about these midwives. My wife's first birth was at a midwife…read morecenter in Boise and it was horrible. Spokane river midwives was a COMPLETELY different experience. They were extremely respectful of our decisions and gave us all the info we needed to make the right decisions. Our first baby ended up being a C-section, mostly we believe because of the midwife's mistakes. Our second baby, at Spokane River Midwives, was not an easy birth. There were other midwives who came into the center, who weren't even supposed to be working that day who ended up staying with us the whole day. My wife needed all the support she could get and they were the perfect people for it. Our main midwife Brianna stayed with us the whole 24 hours; and Kayla, who wasn't even supposed to be working, came in and stayed with us the last 12 hours. Midwives all sounds great when you meet with them, but it's when you get into a difficult labor that you find out what they're really made of. We desperately did not want to end up at the hospital getting a c-section again. Hours before the delivery I felt like there was no hope. And our previous midwife in Boise would have given up on us before that even. These women stuck it out, with unbelievable patience and stayed positive and helped my wife through the whole thing. I feel like we 100% owe the fact that we had a successful natural v-back delivery because of these women.

The positives of our experience with quilted were that over 60+ hours of labor we were given choices and mostly treated with respect. The staff at Sacred Heart was wonderful with the exception of one nurse who we were able to request not to have again. Even though it ended in C section, Hannah, one of the excellent midwives came in the OR with us and was incredibly kind and helpful. The OB Hospitalist, Dr Tyler was such a great communicator and we felt very safe and at ease with him and his fellow Dr Laubauch. The MA's and office staff at quilted were all great and we liked being able to have appointments in the cute brick house instead of having to go to Sacred Heart. The negatives were that 3 of the 8 midwives could be quite condescending and we were lectured during the birth by one of them and after the birth by another. The 3rd made a scary experience during the pregnancy even scarier by not accurately communicating with us about why she needed to do a pelvic exam and not explaining why she thought I was wrong about what I felt happen- other than she "had never seen it in 29 years of experience". 2 of these midwives also were not fully up to date on hospital policy and 1 of them got very defensive when we asked that she tell those whose water has broken that if they go to the OB ED they will be pressured to stay and be admitted. Even though Dr Tyler was amazing, if you do end up getting a C-section, you will now have to use the hospitalist OB staff if you need any surgical follow up care. They are emergency based so you cannot schedule an appointment or OR time with them. There was excessive bleeding later on and we spent over 8 hours in the OB ED with our newborn. Dr Zwiesler was great as well and thankfully ordered the test which caught the problem but there were very limited options to deal with it there. Since nothing could be scheduled, I was told to come back the next day, not to eat or drink for 8 hours before and wait in triage again to get a DNC. Also when you use Quilted they send you to the MFM clinic for ultrasounds. You can read the reviews of them and decide but if we had to do it over again we definitely would have asked to be sent to inland imaging. Our negative experience at the MFM clinic was brushed off and Dr Barber was described as a "great provider", that was certainly not our experience. A bit of luck of the draw with this experience, in the end we were certainly glad we were in a hospital and not at home, we also had great midwifery care from Hannah, Haleigh, Charlie and Jane - but there were enough negatives with this experience that if we had to do it over again we would have chosen differently.

On October 7th 2014 I gave birth to premature fraternal twin girls at Sacred Heart Medical Center…read morein Spokane WA eight weeks early. Both girls had been previously diagnosed each with different birth defects complicating my pregnancy but I was promised by the team at Sacred Heart that they were going to "do everything possible to save your babies". My Baby A had Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) and my Baby B had a Cleft Lip and Palate (CLCP) with Heart Defect. During some shady circumstances my Baby A (Faith) died just after birth, my Baby B (Grace) survived then endured a 7 week long NICU stay where the both of us were treated with callous indifference. At Sacred Heart I was promised care for my babies by providers that I never received, they promised me a special neonatologist who was the hospital's CDH expert, a pediatric cardiologist, and 2 NICU teams (one for each baby, which is pretty much the industry standard of care for any twin birth) were supposed to be present during the birth to try to save my babies and with the exception of one on-call NICU team none of the above were present (though I was later told there were enough 'nurses' to comprise a second team... ummm yeah that still is bad as both my babies had birth defects requiring serious medical intervention. The (one) on-call doctor (neonatologist, Dr. Rhonda Gretebeck) that treated my babies didn't know what side of the body my Baby A's birth defect was on (and this does actually make a big difference). She didn't know the true severity of the birth defect (it wasn't nearly as bad as she thought). She claimed to not know that my baby was born alive, even though this is basically her job and she was standing right there 4 other people heard my baby cry upon birth. And she only tried briefly to resuscitate her using a bare minimum effort and no chest compressions (chest compressions are actually called for in this circumstance according to the AAP and the AHA). She also tried to classify my baby's death as a fetal demise (stillborn) even though she cried when she was born. Last I checked, stillborn babies don't cry. It took me FOUR months of talking with the hospital patient relations department, writing letters, and finally getting the attending OBGYN involved to get this changed. I'd like to point out here that a grieving mother should not have to do that. In keeping with Washington State Defamation Laws, I can provide proof of all that is mentioned here in her medical records and/or by eye witnesses and photos. In Washington state it's not slander if what I say is true. Prior to birth I met with the Sacred Heart Children's Hospital NICU staff not once, but twice. WHAT I WAS NOT TOLD IN THESE MEETINGS OR EVER: That if I gave birth prematurely and Faith was too little for ECMO (a heart and lung bypass machine for babies) they would discontinue lifesaving efforts after only a few minutes, only put forth a bare minimum effort that looked legal on paper *in my opinion*, to basically prevent them from getting sued, and would not provide the support they promised me. No one told me that a hospital could make a determination, that went against our wishes, as to whether my baby would receive or not receive life saving care based on a "birth defect". She was well beyond the age of viability at 32 weeks. NO ONE (and I mean NO ONE) TOLD ME that there was an age or weight of viability for NORMAL preemie babies and a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT standard for babies with certain birth defects. In my opinion that right there, is a form of medical discrimination should be illegal. Even going into the hospital in labor, I still NAIVELY believed that even if her outlook was grim they would still try to save her life as nobody had told me any different. And after all that's what THEY PROMISED ME "that everything would be done to save my babies" said Dr. Barber himself. *NOW THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT*: We were so determined to fight for our twin daughters that without a doubt if anyone at the hospital would've disclosed this information to us, I would've left Sacred Heart THAT DAY and been in Seattle or Portland for care by sundown, and the truth of the matter is even if they would not have used ECMO on Faith, being accustomed to treating high risk challenging cases such as Faith's, they would've AT LEAST TRIED to resuscitate her, vent her, and explore all options. This I know without a doubt because I called and asked. And that's all I wanted, was for her doctors to fight for my daughter. If she had to die, then at the very least I wanted to know that there was nothing else medically That. Could. Be. Done. I wanted to know that her doctors never gave up on her. I will never ever know that peace, Dr Getebeck denied me that because IMNHO she thought she knew better than the parents.
