Niagara Midwives

I cannot express enough gratitude for my midwife, Pierra. Her courage, dedication, and compassion are truly exceptional. Throughout 24 hours of labor, she never left my side for a single second. Her constant presence, reassurance, and strength gave me the confidence and calm I needed during one of the most intense moments of my life. She accompanied us at the clinic with such professionalism and kindness, and her support did not stop there. During the postpartum period, both at home and on-site, she took wonderful care of my baby and me, always attentive, gentle, and reassuring. Pierra is not only an outstanding midwife, but also a truly beautiful human being. I feel incredibly blessed to have been accompanied by someone so devoted and caring. I will forever be thankful for everything she did for us. Highly recommended with all my heart 🤍

Niagara midwives helped me through two pregnancies. One with Claudia, and one with Green Team. Both experiences were fantastic. To top off the great work they do, their receptionist Marcy is the best.

An amazing experience from the time I was accepted as a client until I was done with their care 6 weeks after birth. I was with the red team and Brittany, Sam, and Monjat took such excellent care of me and my baby I am so thankful for this company. During birth due to an issue an OB had to deliver but my midwife was by my side the entire time holding my hand and helping me through birth. Due to a shortage of midwives you may have to be put on a waitlist, as I was, but don’t get discouraged and make sure to add yourself to the list. I would recommend midwifery care to anyone!

My experience here was in early 2023. I'm writing now because I am trying to heal a part of me that feels broken. I had 1 great midwife who I felt heard me, acknowledged me and made me feel secure. Not just in my pregnancy, but as a mom. This was my second pregnancy and my first was a c-section. I had my first child in Georgia and I had a great experience with the midwives there, which is why I wanted to have a midwife for my second. Jessica was a blessing, and relatable. She was super knowledgeable, kind and understanding, and I felt heard with her. I prayed that when my water breaks that she would be the one oncall. But she wasn't meant to be the one there with me. I had a different midwife when my water broke, and of the 3 I had, she was the one I prayed to not have. Every appointment with her felt draining, and uncomfortable. She would often suggest or refer alternatives to what I knew I wanted. Even if it was to provide options, one would assume that once I said "no" the topic would be dropped. Every appointment felt rushed and questions I had often felt unanswered or left me confused. She also opposed much of the other midwives suggestions. So it felt conflicting when I was directed one way, and she would negate their consultations. Jessica pushed for sweeps, even scheduling me on days she was "off" so we can try for a natural birth, something I wanted. The other midwife said it would be useless, that she can't do sweeps effectively because she has short fingers so it is pointless, and Jessica wqs just better cause of her long fingers. Not really a fun conversation to have while she was conducting a sweep, talking about the length of their fingers. At the hospital, she didn't hear me out when I asked for a natural birth, something I had been wanting, or to give me time to process OB recommendations. It really felt like she just wanted me to get a c-section so she can leave. She was so eager that when she put in my IV, blood squirted everywhere from my veins. I didn't think blood could shoot out like that. When the OB was forcing me to sign a paper she wrote up basically saying I was going against her recommendation (which easnt the case, i asked for time to let things sink and simmer), the midwife said that it's procedural since I didn't want to follow best practices. Again, I'm pregnant, with all these emotions, and she wasn't even empathetic. I ended up agreeing to a c-section, just like they wanted. Once my baby girl came out, she took her, rushed her out to another room. My husband didnt even get to look at our baby. No words, nothing. My baby girl was perfectly healthy, not sure why she had to bring her to another room, and not tell us. I'm still trying to process that day. Midwives are supposed to support, no? Provide knowledge, right? I don't understand how someone who lacks empathy can be employed to help bring life into the world. Jessica embodies what I define as a midwife. Please hire more Jessicas!
