text: After 2 not so great experiences having my first 2 kids I decided to do something different when I got pregnant with baby #3. I decided to see the midwives at Valley Women for Women. I met with all the midwives while I was pregnant and from the very first visit my husband and I both felt the difference. It seemed like the midwives actually cared about me and my family and my overall birthing experience.  They spent as much time with me at every appointment as I needed. I NEVER felt like they were rushing through an appointment.  They had toys in the exam room for my kids to play with when I had to bring them with me (huge bonus!).  \n\nThe only drawback is the wait time.  The midwives are SO busy and they deliver all of their patients babies themselves that sometimes I would get there for an appointment and need to be rescheduled or wait for 45-60 min. Even knowing that, I would come back to these wonderful ladies again.  Their nurses were WONDERFUL as well.  \n\nThey never pushed one type of birth over another - I knew if I wanted an epidural they would get me one and if I was going to give birth without medication, they would coach me every step of the way. \n\nJanice delivered my little girl and it was by far the best birthing experience I've had of the 3. My husband joked that I didn't even need him there because Janice was so amazing.  She coached me perfectly while keeping me calm (I was fully dilated when I got to the hospital). \n\nI drove 25 minutes for each appointment. It was totally worth it.  I recommend these ladies to everyone.
