It was the best experience, I had some complications and they handled it amazingly. I will be using them for all my future children.

Tanya was great. I was her very first client. She's very informative and caring. Thanks
Both my kids were delivered by Ottawa Valley Midwifes in a hospital. The level of before, during and after care is amazing. They were always available to answer any questions and put my mind at ease. Thank you for taking such great care of my whole family
Three months postpartum and when I think of my experience with the Ottawa Valley Midwives, I get emotional. I had a very traumatic labor (and post- delivery) experience with midwife Kristen, from the beginning to the end. Most of my meetings were with a student midwife and I found Kristen to be absent. I figured since she wasn't my primary midwife, that it was normal. I found out the night I was getting induced that my son was measuring 9lbs. That night, the doctor basically told me she was available to do a c-section and told me to just go ahead and schedule it, saying: 'you are setting yourself up for failure!' after telling her I wanted to try a vaginal birth. This was all while Kristen was standing right there. I was in total shock and disbelief, and was hoping for some type of support or advocacy regarding my decision, but Kristen said nothing. I thought once the doctor walked away, maybe then she would give me some words of encouragement or even comfort me. She did NOTHING. During my labor, I had the urge to push at 7 cm. Following Kristen's advice, I got an epidural. Once that happened, my contraction slow down and my cervix started to regress (went from 7 cm to 4 cm). Her next suggestion was a c-section. She consulted with a doctor, and the doctor agreed after an examination. Before even agreeing to the c-section, Kristen was already in her scrubs. That was so disappointing to see! I could write a long list of disappointing things that occurred afterwards but I won't. I don't know what the worst part for me was: was it when Kristen told the doctor/surgeon that she didn't really know me or was it when she came to me after my c-section and said \I thought you were going to prove me wrong\. I'll end with this: I chose Ottawa Valley Midwives after reading all these wonderful comments/reviews and I thought I would get the same quality care, support, and advocacy, but unfortunately, I can't say that I have.
I'm very surprise this place is getting good reviews. We had a horrible experience.
