    Shivani Lash is the warmest, wisest and most caring midwife and it was a great privilege and answer…read moreto prayer to be under her care for my fifth pregnancy and birth. When my husband and I were considering having a home birth for our fifth baby, I knew the type of support I wanted, already having given birth four times and also being a doula, but I wasn't sure if I would be able to find my perfect midwife match here in our area. When we met with Shivani for the first time, I sensed that she was gentle-natured, humble, experienced and wise, had a balanced approach, and that she had a very calming and grounding presence which are all very valuable traits in a midwife! I felt like she indeed had the qualifications and character traits I was hoping to find and I was looking forward to having her on my birth team! The best words to describe my prenatal care with Shivani was loving and luxurious. She took the very best care of me at every visit. She was so honoring in the way she would ask for permission before ever touching me (and her hands were always as warm as her heart!) and she explained each and every test before she performed it and wanted to be sure I understood what it was for and why and she never forced anything on me that I didn't feel comfortable with. She was there for me professionally, she gave me her thoughts in light of current research and her own years of experience but she also honored my autonomy. And I also greatly appreciated her natural approach to pregnancy and birth. She is very knowledgeable about how to nourish and to stay well prenatally and postpartum naturally which is a great blessing! And while it was a smooth pregnancy overall, there were a few things that came up unexpectedly and I really appreciated how she helped me navigate them. She was calm and knowledgeable and offered wisdom and support. She always gave me the full range of approaches available in each given situation, provided me with resources, answered all my questions, and I was able to glean insight from her years of experience. All these things combined with prayer for God's ultimate guidance, my husband and I were able to process and make decisions that we felt such peace and confidence in at the end of the day. My birth experience was such a gift. Shivani came when we were ready for her, she was attentive, intuitive, patient and so loving from beginning to end. She gave both my husband and I ample support. She was there for me physically and offered suggestions of positions to try, she took turns with my husband providing counter pressure on my back, she kept the water in the birth pool nice and warm and she made me broths and teas and reminded me to take sips of my electrolyte water. She was also there for me emotionally and steadfastly kept me going when I felt like I couldn't keep going the last few hours before baby finally arrived. She knew when to be hands on and when to step back and give space. My husband absolutely loved this birth experience because we both felt comfortable to do whatever was needed in each moment with no pressure of time or pesky continuous monitoring systems that constantly need to be adjusted, endless questions needing to be answered in the thick of contractions, care providers coming in and out of the room unintentionally disrupting the birth flow, etc. We were not constrained by hospital protocols or any other dynamic, we could just be present and free to do what needed to be done. Her postpartum care was also such a gift. Shivani made sure I knew she was there for me 24/7 if I needed anything in the days following my birth. She checked in on me and baby often and paid us multiple visits. We had three major storms hit us within a three month period, just before and after our baby was born. A woman already feels exceptionally vulnerable postpartum but add a few natural disasters into the mix and it's quite the emotionally trying experience. She made sure we were prepared before the storms and checked on us afterwards, even offering to help us prepare in any way. She cares so deeply for each one of her mommas! Any questions or concerns I had once baby was born, she was more than happy to help me find answers. I just always felt Shivani's heart, that she wanted me to feel cared for and completely supported as I found my footing as a new mom of five. I'm so grateful for Shivani's care. It was exactly the type of experience I was praying for and more. I recommend her with all my heart to any momma considering a home birth in the area. She is a true gift to all of us women giving birth in this area at this time! We are so blessed to have her!

    I was incredibly pleased with our entire birthing experience and process in the very caring hands…read moreof Shivani. She consistently went above and beyond for my wife through all the developments and unique situations along the way. She was incredibly flexible to our schedule and provided ample resources and professional insights along the way to best equip us for the educated decisions that were right for us and our family. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a private and peaceful home birthing experience. So much so, that we are proudly using her for a second pregnancy and never considered any alternative options. Thank you so much for all that you do!

    My overall experience at Birthways left me feeling neglected and abandoned in the process…read more This was my first pregnancy and prenatal care was okay. There really wasn't any education on the actual laboring process which left me pretty unprepared. leading up to my birth I started to feel anxious as I had connected with some midwife's and not others and when it's time for labor you get whatever random midwife is on call. A week before I was due they rushed for me to meet a midwife who was visiting town. Overall I had the feeling that they were very understaffed and had tons of clients. I had specifically asked the owner "what happens if you have to go to the hospital?" The answer was clear - we come with you to make sure your checked in but we don't stay the whole time , the student chimed in that she likes to stay for the whole birth because she gets invested in the moms. Well, the day that my water broke, the amniotic fluid had meconium. I called the midwife on-call who was the midwife I only met once previously. She told me the baby was in distress without any explanation or information and to go straight to the hospital, she would not come with me. There was some guidance on where to park and then that was it. I didn't hear from her again until a text 24 hours later asking how it was going. And then never heard from her again. Done. My labor was difficult at the hospital with nurses pushing all various medication, wanting to rush the process. It was the hospital nightmare that I was always avoiding. After pitocin was pushed on me I still labored for 30 hours, barely dodged a c section, my baby landed in niccu for 3 days, and I had been completely paralyzed in one leg and in a wheelchair from an epidural injury that took months before walking normally again, It was scary. I never heard from Birthways again until 3 weeks later they called telling me I should come in for my postpartum checkup. This was never communicated to me during the entire prenatal care that there would be postpartum check ups. I thought they had finished their services with me. I was desperate for an assessment of my situation and to check on my stitches(from tearing). They called to cancel the appointment I was needing, and luckily I got a spot because someone canceled. I arrived using a walker and couldn't even hold my baby. The woman who would've been my midwife was shocked and asked what happened to me. There was some sympathy but afterwards she never informed the owner of my situation nor did anyone ever bother to check about my hospital birth records. When I came in for the second check up weeks later, the owner was surprised to hear my birth story and injuries. There is an obvious lack of communication between everyone. Finally they emailed the hospital to get my birth report. Of course, you sign paperwork that you will never be able to get a refund even if you don't birth there and they do nothing, they will keep your money. During one of the most vulnerable processes of my life, I felt completely neglected by this business. And that's the vibe you get that it's a business, a place to make money. Choosing Birthways was a mistake and i'm not the only one traumatized by this, my mother was confused about what kind of care they were supposed to offer, and my husband felt like it was a waste of thousands of dollars, feeling that the service offered was nowhere near worth what we paid. While I was pregnant, I deposited $250 for nitrous. If you don't make an early deposit and decide that you underestimated and need nitrous while giving birth, the price jumps to $500. That just shows the intentions of Birthways and how it takes advantage. Because I never gave birth at Birthways or used nitrous I was expecting to have my money back. This was not an easy process, taking seven months before I finally saw it back and I had to call every couple weeks, text, email. The communication is totally off with this business as is their billing practices. In all, I would not recommend Birthways unless you know your going to have an easy birth that requires little attention and care. It may be the only center in town, but not the only option.

    I was referred by this birth center for a sonogram at 10 days past my due date, because my fundal…read moreheight had decreased. At no point did the birth center inform me that this was an emergency. I told Christina that I would go to St. Pete, which was the doctor's office that I had previously been to. She told me to go to Sarasota Memorial Hospital, because it was closer to birthways, even though I lived in St. Pete. I didn't understand the relationship between the hospital and birthways. My husband and I were cognizant of not going into the ER and asked for the OB floor. The hospital and Birthways both failed to inform us that we were in the ER and that was the only way I would get a sonogram. Neither birthways or the hospital told me that this would be billed as an emergency room visit, resulting in a significant and unexpected medical bill. My sonogram and my baby's heart beat were perfect. The hospital wanted to induce me ONLY because I was late. They did not have any rooms available and they said they couldn't take me, because it was "not an emergency". I had to sign an AMA to leave and go to St. Pete hospital. I later spoke with a lawyer who said what birthways did was wrong. They were misrepresenting what the sonogram visit was. I was told that this situation was avoidable had the birth center informed me of the financial implications. If I needed to be induced, because I was late, then I would have been admitted into the hospital and not an ER visit. The whole thing was a waste of time and money. When I called to discuss with Christina, she was very defensive. She did ask if she could help me with an appeal, but I had already done that and it didn't work. Christina also said she didn't tell us to go for a sonogram and that she told us to go for an evaluation. My husband and I both heard her say "sonogram". The lawyer said her wording makes no difference and that she was still not providing necessary information. Christina also said that this was in the paperwork. I read every document two times over and saw nothing in the paperwork explaining that referrals will go through the ER. I want others to know that if you're referred out by this center--especially late in pregnancy--you should ask whether the visit will be considered "emergency" and what billing codes may apply. The care I received here had some positives, but the lack of transparency around this referral led to a costly surprise and ongoing stress during postpartum recovery. Make sure you ask all the right questions--they won't always offer that information up front.

    I chose Swor Women's Care for my twin pregnancy, and it was truly the best decision I could have…read moremade. Every member of the team--from the front desk to my OB/GYN, Dr. Casey Johnson--helped make a more challenging pregnancy feel far easier than I ever expected. Dr. Johnson was both professional and personable. He guided me through the unique expectations of a twin birth with clear communication, while still honoring and adapting my birth plan as much as possible. When unforeseen complications arose, my husband and I were beyond grateful to have him overseeing my care. His passion for what he does is unmistakable. I cannot recommend this incredible team enough. I look forward to continuing to rely on their support and services for any future pregnancies and care needs.

    Well I thought this was a great place until they absolutely let me and my expecting wife down. We…read moresigned up as a new patient in March and here we are in May getting a letter that says they've discontinued OB practices conveniently during our due date window. The letter says " after thoughtful consideration" so you mean you planned to do this the entire time? I find it hard to believe that you came up with this drastic business decision in less than two months so why would you accept new patients if you knew this was the outcome for us? Just another reason to take as much money as humanly possible from first time parents. And now we're being passed around like paperwork to see which doctor will take us...they took forever scheduling our appointments so we are not having our anatomy scan until 25 weeks through the pregnancy, which is a whole lot late according to everything online. This entire experience has been a complete disappointment and I would recommend that anyone be very careful when considering this practice for your medical needs. They only have their best interests in mind not yours and they will do whatever they can to avoid anytime of ownership. Not even a phone call or an email, literally a letter in the mail. You do not care about your patients and we will 100% never use you for any medical services in the future. Except for the ones you've already made us pay for of course. And now instead of facing us like a honorable practice they have blocked me from messaging them and making public comments on their social media reviews. DO NOT GO HERE
