Having our first baby, my husband and I were clueless! Our midwife team was AMAZING! The fact that you can get a hold of them whenever you need is so great. When it came to labour, our midwife was by our side and coaching me through the entire time. We honestly could not think of having a baby any other way. Thank you guys so much!

Had the best prenatal and birthing experience with Heather and Rebecca. Looking forward to seeing them again when we try for number two.

These ladies are all truly amazing! Had a few different ladies for my 2 but each time I was well taken care of. They made each experience that much more comfortable both before and after.

we had our second child november 13th, our first experience using a midwife and I couldn't be happier. throughout my whole pregnancy I felt so supported. I felt way more informed in making choices about my pregnancy and when it came down to delivery Sarah was such an amazing support and I dont think labour and delivery would have been so smooth without her. if we decide to have baby #3 we will definitely be using family midwifery care of Guelph again.

How wonderful this page happened onto my feed today. Nadine was one of the wonderful midwives who delivered my daughter, Kathryn, who is now almost 20. She was also one of my main care providers during my pregnancy with my youngest. Even now, many years later, I have nothing but the best memories of my care. It’s what inspired me to train and become a Doula in my late twenties. I would recommend care here to any family and mother to be.

There truly isn’t enough words to explain how grateful I am to have had my midwife’s. Heather and Rebecca have been by my side since day one. Going over and beyond to help me and my little one in every single way. They do their job with their hearts. I am forever thankful. �

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.

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!!

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 :)

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!

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!

I have never experienced a higher level of care than with Heather and Rebecca - I wouldn't think twice about using them again or recommending the midwives here �

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!

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.

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!

Incredible experience! Rebecca, Heather and student Leslie were simply wonderful. I was very prepared for birth, felt thoroughly supported and cared for during birth and was amazed by the postpartum care. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I am so grateful to all the midwives that supported us through my pregnancy. I couldn't have done it without their support! I would definitely recommend. Thanks so much for everything!

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.

Couldn't have asked for a better team of ladies to see me through my pregnancy, delivery and these early days with my little boy!!! Every visit from them helps make things a little easier...there is no problem that they don't have some great words of advice for.

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.

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!
