Eastern Iowa Midwifery

Client testimonials:

"It was so comforting to labor at home-to be free to move around the house, and to go outside in the sunshine, or to do whatever was comfortable."

"The home-birth was an experience that I would recommend to anyone who is interested in natural childbirth. ...The satisfaction with how the delivery went has made a big difference for me mentally, emotionally, AND physically..."

"We loved the fact that after our son was born we were in our own bed in our home.  We didn't have to worry about moving rooms, being poked and prodded, or trying to sleep in uncomfortable beds.  It wasn't just a comfort issue.  We, as a family, were able to bond with the new baby sooner since we were at home."
