The whole team at RCM provided amazing support through the entire pregnancy, birth, and post-partum experience. I would recommend RCM (and midwives in general) to anyone looking for personalized, professional service. Unlike any other health care experience I've ever had, I actually had the feeling that my wife and I had control of the process. The midwife team took time to explain all options and discuss a personalized plan for our family, instead of just telling us what decisions had already been made for us.
We had a beautiful home birth and the two midwives (Babil and Nancy) instilled absolute confidence as they supported my wife through the birth experience.
And for the men (non-gestational partners) out there: this is the place to be if you want to be part of the process! Babil didn't just stick me in a corner while talking to my wife, she involved me in the discussions wherever possible. The result: I understood what was going on during the pregnancy, wasn't (as) terrified during the birth, and actually felt like I was able to help my wife through the process!
Absolutely wonderful experiences with the births of both of our children. The care that our whole family received in each case was second to none and demonstarted the training and professionalism that these women have. One child was a premature birth at the hospital (epidural etc) and the other was a full term at home (no meds) birth. There was no difference in the level of care, hands on support or prenatal or postnatal care - the choices we made for our family were respected and acknowledged. I recommend this clinic wholeheartedly to anyone who asks.
Appreciation post
Now that sweet Lucy is here I feel like it's a good time to write a review about our experience.
I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Red Community midwives. Especially with my midwife Erin.
Now I've been blessed to get to have midwives through 2 of my pregnancies now. And after my 3 year olds pregnancy/delivery I honestly didn't think it could get any better than it was.
I was wrong.
Erin from day 1 made me feel welcome and at home. Like I was talking to a longtime friend even though we had just met.
She was always super helpful and encouraging during the pregnancy. Reminding me multiple times that this is my body and therefore my choice with comfort etc.
Offering many options and ideas to help with any issues that presented. And trying to make things as easy as possible on me.
She was incredibly encouraging at the end when my frustration rose.
During labor and delivery she was incredibly supportive. My last midwives weren't hands on during the labor. They let me do my own thing. Erin was right there beside me. Offering counter pressure and super encouraging words. She reminded me many times that I was strong, that it was almost over and that I could do this. It was amazing to have this especially when I almost felt like giving up at the end.
I honestly can't say enough about how awesome she is! I'm actually sad that this journey is almost over because we wont see her.
Absolutely amazing clinic here. Everyone who works there is very welcoming and very kind. My kids adore everyone who works at Red community. They look forward to our visits.
We are so grateful to Red Community Midwives and especially our midwife, Annegret. Shireen at reception was always warm and friendly. Nancy attended my birth and her compassionate care was much appreciated. Red took me on as a client after my midwife at another clinic suddenly went on leave. We then hit some unexpected medical issues in the last few weeks, and don’t know how we would have made it through without Annegret’s continued support. She made us feel safe and calm during a really difficult period. We appreciated both her knowledge and skills as a midwife, and her ability to understand us as people. Thank you so much for a very positive experience!
They are amazing, Babil was my midwife and after 15 hours of labor she helped me having my baby and it was fantastic everything went so well!
If I ever have another baby I'm definitely coming back to her for sure ?
