There are honestly no words to thank Isabelle & Megan for their compassion, patience & help throughout my pregnancy with my first child. I struggled with anxiety throughout my pregnancy and they always took the time to settle my concerns & make sure I was assured that things were okay! My birthing experience was amazing thanks to Megan (& Debbie). I appreciated Isabelle’s advice and decision making regarding my sons health a few days after his birth. She did what she knew was best for him. Both of my Midwives are incredible women & I am so thankful for their involvement in my pregnancy, birth and postpartum care. I will use them again should we be blessed with another pregnancy. � all of the ladies on the front desk are lovely also.read more

This was my first child and I admit I didn't know much about midwives and what their roles would be in pregnancy and childbirth. I did some research and figured hey, let's give this a try. My goodness I am SOOO happy that I chose to go with Midwives!!! I was very blessed to have Rebecca and Heather as my midwives and the care that they provided (during my pregnancy, labour, and aftercare) was unbelievable. I always felt comfortable, cared for, and supported each step of the way. My husband and I can't say enough good things about these ladies and we are absolutely hoping to be paired with them again for our next child. We highly recommend Family Midwifery Care of Guelph!!read more

There aren't enough words to express how grateful and happy I am for my experience with Family Midwifery Care of Guelph. My pregnancy was not an easy one, but the care and support of my midwives got me through very challenging times and helped me feel empowered in making choices for my birth plans, my baby and myself. They treat you with kindness, compassion and respect- I highly recommend!read more

I have used midwives for both of my son's births. I will never forget Sarah and what she did for me. My youngest son's birth ended up being the scariest day of my life. After an emergency c-section went wrong she made sure I was able to see my husband before they rushed me back in a second time. She held my hand while I thought I was taking my last breath of air. She put a volunteer at my door to stop the massive amount of visitors I received. She came to my home and coached my husband on how to care for me and my baby. She was my angel. Highly recommend these ladies. They advocate for your needs. They keep you informed. They come to your home after baby is born!!! Best part of course 🙂read more

While we didn't have a positive outcome with our first pregnancy, I delivered our baby girl prematurely and she was born sleeping at 21 weeks, Isabelle and Megan and the team at Family Midwifery Care was absolutely amazing. They brought out every single positive aspect they could in such a heartbreaking situation. They continued my care for a month pp and went out of their way to make everything easier for us. I cannot say enough good things about these ladies, the compassion and treatment I received. I will no doubt return to their care when we are ready to have our rainbow baby!read more

I had such a great experience with Family Midwifery. Being pregnant with my first child, I had many concerns and questions. My midwives, Isabelle and Meghan, always took their time with me and ensured all my concerns were addressed and that I was comfortable. While I ended up needing an emergency c-section, the support I received from Meghan and Isabelle at the hospital was wonderful. I can't stress how amazing mine and my son's care has been! I will definitely be using Family Midwifery again when my husband and I decide to have a second child!read more

Sarah, Galya, and Nadine were awesome during my 2 pregnancies. My second pregnancy was twins and so they provided secondary support, but honestly, they were much more helpful, caring, and attentive than my OB and I definitely relied on them more heavily than I did the OB. Amazing women!read more

They are amazing. A great comfort to a pregnant mom with anxiety. They were there for me when I experienced a miscarriage & were a part of the team for my latest pregnancy. My OB helped me get pregnant this time around but he had nothing but good things to say about these wonderful ladies & he was happy to hand my care over to them when he was sure I was a "boring" patient. I have felt like they have more time to listen to me than my OB did & they've gone above & beyond to explain every step & all my options to me so I can make the best informed choice for my baby & me.read more

I have been lucky enough to have 2 of my little ones with Family Midwifery Care of Guelph. The difference in care from an OB and a midwife is incredible. It was nice to be treated like a person and not just a number being pushed through. Their knowledge and ability to allow parents to make informed decisions on your pregnancy as opposed to being told what you "need" to do. Thank you so much for all you do!read more

I absolutely loved the care that I got from Jaren and Isabel! They helped me get through my crazy birth while sticking to my birth plan(even though things happened so fast) and they helped me with any issues or concerns that came up after! I am extremely pleased that we chose a midwife to bring our son into this world because of the care and relationships we created with these ladies. I love how they always had the answers to my questions and simple tips to help out, which every new parent needs! Also how they would randomly check in with me even when I hadn't called, I truly appreciate everything they have done! I would recommend these midwives to anyone who asks and when we choose to have our next child I will be going with these ladies again!! Thank you so much!!!!read more

These women warm my heart each time I see them , or a thought of them come to my mind. We are due with your second ( any day now!) and I couldn't feel more loved , and supported. Since the first time I walked in for our first prenatal with our first , I knew this place would become a place I would adore , with women I just love. Words can't even describe how full my heart is with these women being there for the birth of my child , and soon to be children! I remember so clearly all they did for me during the birth of our first child. It was pure love. I take time to acknowledge how thankful I am for them each day. Heike and Rebecca , you two have changed my life with the love and support you offer! Your time with my family will never be forgotten. Thank you.read more

The quality and quantity of care from my midwife far surpassed what I would receive from a family doctor (esp the after care & home visits). I had an unplanned home birth and they put me at ease and everything went incredibly quickly and smoothly.read more

I can't imagine having gone through my pregnancy and those early days with my baby girl without the midwives. They always made me feel cared for, valued, and important. I never felt rushed through an appointment and for those times when I had to page, they always made me feel that I had made the right decision to call them. They are amazing people and provide stellar care for everyone. And I must say that being greeted by Jackie when you arrive at the office makes the whole experience even better!read more
