When I found out I was pregnant with my first baby, I knew I wanted something different from what other women experience going to a hospital. I wanted a midwife, but not someone who lacked medical training or who was weird and new age-y. However, I didn’t want any unnecessary interventions pushed on me during such a vulnerable time. Plano Birthplace ended up being the PERFECT fit. The midwife’s, Jeanine and Lindsay, provided evidenced based research to me throughout my pregnancy and truly allowed me choose what was best for myself and my baby with no judgement.My birth was beautiful and non traumatic, which is unfortunately rare in our culture today..Jeanine sat with me patiently for 3 hours while I pushed. My baby was allowed to come when she was ready, and was born peacefully into the water. She was not rubbed down or handled roughly. She was treated gently and with dignity.Lastly, they provide continued support postpartum. They are well connected with a community of child birth educators, doulas, and lactation consultants, etc, and will stop at nothing to make sure you have proper support to be successful. Breast feeding was also difficult for me and without their support I don’t think I would have been as successful as I ended up being with it.I cannot recommend this birthing center enough. I will be back when it is time for baby #2!
