It's supposed to be a family care center and she never asked for my husband's name and it didn't seem like she really knew mine. It felt very impersonal as well as racist toward my husband. I unfortunately had a miscarriage so my experience with them only lasted about three months. This was my first pregnancy and I really didn't know what to expect. I would not recommend paying the 6-7k in advance as no matter what they will keep half of it. It doesn't matter if you miscarry and only go to two appointments they kept $3,700 out of the $6,400 we paid. Tina told me that I had hypothyroidism without getting the proper labs done. And then never told me that she was wrong. I began spotting the day I had an appointment but I knew they kept the phone on so I texted asking if there was anything I should do or worry about and the receptionist Alexus answered saying Tina was in a consult but would respond when she was done. Well an hour and a half later I show up to my appointment and she hadn't even mentioned it to Tina. They're too worried about getting more people and money in than the people that they are already taking care of. That appointment I was 12 weeks and they should have been able to see my baby with the ultrasound but Tina couldn't even find my baby nor do the heartbeat. Two days after the miscarriage I let them know and wanted to know the refund process as we had ER bills to take care of to which they texted back "Once care is completed for a pregnancy, your account will be reconciled and a refund will be given. Don't stress about that. Most women are pregnant again in just a couple of months and we will also throw in something for you then as well " which to me is extremely rude and unfeeling as I just lost my child. I feel obligated to tell other people about this place as it is not a safe place to give birth. I cannot recommend it in anyway based on my experience.

They walked through a miscarriage with us then when we got pregnant again they were with us every step of the way. They allowed my 9 and 5 year old to take part in exams, finding their brother's heartbeat and measurements. They were there for us during preterm labor. Then when birth finally came i couldn't have been happier with the birth! After 2 unmediated hospital births I finally got my out of hospital water birth with the best ladies!! My 5 year old asks when we will go back and tells me often that if we have another baby we have to have it with Amber and Lindsay! I couldn't agree more.

My daughter just had her first baby here on Dec 10. What a wonderful experience! We all got to know…read moreAmber and Lindsay through the pregnancy, and every question we had was answered with knowledge, every concern with patience, no detail was too small for them to address (as this was her first), and most of all, they shared the joy of my daughter's pregnancy and birth with her (this makes a huge difference to the mom-to-be). The center is so cozy and homey, yet everything a mom might need is at hand (without the sterile feeling of a hospital). I've had 6 homebirths, so my expectation was high when our daughter and her hubby started looking for a midwife. When we moved here from PA, I was worried we wouldn't find a midwife as experienced as the one we had for our babies. Thankfully, we found Belly to Cradle. From the first appointment to the birth, I was so impressed with Amber and Lindsay. Their knowledge and experience are top-notch. (I asked some pretty tough questions and nothing threw them.) Their confidence is contagious- when they walk into the room you sigh with relief (aaahh, it's all going to be fine!). Their love for mamas and their babies is evident in their care. Would I recommend them? Absolutely. If I were still young enough to have another baby, I would have my baby here!

I would highly recommend Pensacola Birth and Maternity if you are looking to have a home birth!

It's difficult to read the glowing reviews of Pensacola Birth and Maternity Center, because my…read moreexperience was anything but amazing. I chose a home birth because I wanted the comfort of my own home, free of IVs and monitoring devices, able to move freely, and to avoid unnecessary interventions. When I first met Mandy at 25 weeks, we discussed the differences between home and hospital birth. I was relieved when she said cervical checks were unnecessary because vocal changes indicate transition. After researching and meeting with other midwives, we chose Mandy because we believed she was the best in the area. I worked hard to prepare my body--lifting weights, fitness classes, chiropractic adjustments, and pelvic floor therapy. I was able to run two miles just days before labor. I wanted to give myself and my baby the best chance at a safe birth. At 32 weeks, Mandy told me education classes would begin the following Tuesday. These were required in the contract and a major reason we chose this practice. Tuesday came and went. When I texted, I was told there was a "baby boom." Weeks passed with nothing. At 37 weeks, I reached out again and got the same excuse: "Every time I schedule them, someone has labor." We ultimately received only 2 of 5 classes, rushed during my 38th week, after multiple cancellations and reschedules. We went into birth unprepared and without the knowledge those classes were meant to provide. A home visit between 34-36 weeks is also included in the contract. Mine was scheduled at 36 weeks but canceled last minute. When I tried to reschedule, I was told "Probably Saturday." Saturday came and went, and again it was canceled. The visit finally happened the day before I turned 38 weeks. By the final weeks, I felt unsettled. I hadn't received the education I paid for, communication was poor, and I felt she was stretched too thin. But it was too late to change providers. Looking back, my instincts were right. I went into labor at 39 weeks and 3 days. Upon arrival, Mandy listened to the baby, then prepared a sterile glove. When I asked, "Are you going to check me?" she replied, "Yes," and proceeded without my consent--one of the core reasons I'd chosen a home birth was to avoid unnecessary cervical checks. During active labor, Mandy fell asleep in a chair, spent long periods on her phone, was unsure about antibiotic reconstitution, and forgot an IV pole. When it came time to push, things worsened. I was told I wasn't pushing hard enough. When I said I was, she replied, "Don't give me lip, you need to push harder." Later, as exhaustion overtook me, she told me to stop "thrashing like a wild animal." I was dehumanized at the most vulnerable point of my life. Despite pushing for hours, I felt no progress and said, "The baby's stuck." Mandy snapped, "Don't say that!" I begged to transfer and asked for a C-section. She told me, "You know better than anyone if we go to the hospital, it will take hours for them to get you anything." My requests were disregarded. I spiraled into a crisis, expressing suicidal thoughts like "I want to die" and "someone slit my throat." Instead of compassion or action, I was told, "Push harder," and "You're being irresponsible, think about your baby." Only after several more hours of pushing did Mandy finally ask if I wanted to transfer, "based on how she was feeling." I said yes immediately--"Call the ambulance right now." At the hospital, the OB took one look at me and called an emergency C-section. His notes confirmed a large caput filling the vaginal cavity and baby's head stuck at 0 station. What happened was unsafe, unprofessional, and traumatic. The consequences are lasting--physical scars, psychological trauma, and uncertainty about future vaginal births. Instead of enjoying the first weeks with my newborn, I've been left processing trauma and trying to heal from an experience that never should have happened. For these reasons, I cannot recommend Mandy or Pensacola Birth and Maternity Center. If you are considering this practice, I implore you to look elsewhere.

I was skeptical going into this but boy was I wrong!!! Our first experience was amazing, they listened and asked lots of questions to find out exactly what was going on.

We will be returning next week and will likely become a more regular addition to our lives!!!
