My husband and I welcomed our baby boy on Friday December 14, 2018 and we had the most supportively amazing care and birth experience here at Special Beginnings! Although I am a FTM(first time mom) the care at Special Beginnings(SB) was like no other and I should know because I transferred my care from two other providers during my pregnancy before deciding to receive care with the wonderful midwives at SB! Each Prenatal visit at SB, the midwives were genuine and attentive. I never felt rushed during visits and they welcome family members to attend. The waiting area is very kid friendly with toys, books and even a library of books and audio visual material you can borrow from. (I never did but it was nice that it was available.) I attended free classes such as the Breastfeeding Basics class with SB's lactation consultant Leah. Who stressed her commitment to helping new mom's even offering her cell phone to moms for support.

On Labor day I was offered care and control of my birthing experience. the care was guided by what was best for me and baby and the staff were calm and confident the whole time. The room where I gave birth was dimly lit and home-like, nothing like the sterile smell, fluorescent lights beeping monitors of a cold hospital environment.

The best part of my experience was the care and support after I gave birth. I received a home visit from a nurse the day after I gave birth and nurses have called to check on me at least twice since then. What hospital or OB doctor does that? None. The genuine care and concern from the staff here is amazing and you can tell they really love the work that they do!
