Capital Region Midwifery

I had a very negative experience with the front desk staff at this office that ultimately led me to discontinue care. From the moment I approached the desk, the receptionist’s tone was immediately confrontational before I had even provided my name or date of birth giving the impression that she was already familiar with my situation and prepared to address me in a negative manner. During the interaction, I was spoken to in a scolding and inappropriate way regarding my appointment history and personal healthcare decisions. I was made to feel as though I had done something wrong for making choices about my own care, which is both unprofessional and unacceptable in a healthcare setting. This interaction caused significant distress and ultimately will lead to a delay in my care due to needi

I expected an all female provider practice to provide me with the best care because I assumed they could best understand my needs. I received the complete opposite. I had a different provider when I was pregnant with my son but they no longer provide maternal care. I was switched to this practice. I should have switched after my first two negative experiences (not listening to past negative side effects from an IUD) at this practice but I figured when I (hopefully) got pregnant again I would be in better care. I was wrong. I had a terrible experience with my first prenatal appointment (I was accused of only wanting a blood test at 12 weeks to find out the gender of my baby. I declined the blood test since we decided we do not want genetic testing done. I was told “you can’t just get the bl

I have had two pregnancies and deliveries under the care of capital region midwifery and I could not ask for better care. I was able to have a successful VBAC with my second and without interventions at St Peters Hospital. I am thankful for my entire experience with both of my children and look forward to another in the future. If you want an empowering birth experience, to go in educated, and are open to the entire birth experience then this practice is the best in my opinion. They also work with two physicians as well in case emergencies or coverage is needed and they are excellent as well as I had both the midwife and physician attend my labor and birth and everyone was so wonderful. I had so much support through my labor by the providers I had and throughout my entire pregnancy. I am s

Incredibly positive prenatal and delivery experience with the midwives and their team. Warm, communicative, well informed, and respectful. Would highly recommend if you are interested in going the midwife route. We did a lot of research during the prenatal period and advocated for ourselves throughout. It felt like we were in control despite a number of twists and turns. The care was excellent.

I can honestly say I’m really disappointed. I had such high hopes for a nice pregnancy and birth experience but it took a very unfortunate turn as I was closer to my delivery. The whole final month or more I was pregnant I would tell them I felt like I had the flu. They basically just told me “oh you’re really pregnant, you’re supposed to feel like horrible” so I was ignored and never tested for anything. I would fall asleep in the middle of the day I was so exhausted and I just felt really unwell. This is relevant I will come back to it. The birth experience was awful. I was four centimeters dilated when I came into the hospital, bleeding and all and they wanted to send me back home 45 minutes away. I was already in extreme pain and the contractions were three minutes apart. My mom said n
