Rebecca was my midwife during my last pregnancy, and I love her. I love that she treats me like an intelligent, capable person. I’d go home after most appointments and call my sisters to tell them all the cool things I learned. I also felt like I had a friend. She got to know the whole family. My two year old would start yelling “Becca!!” as we got close to her office for each visit.
We didn’t have the birth we’d planned. We’d intended to go to the birth suite. Instead we had an unplanned, unassisted homebirth, oops. I’m so grateful Rebecca was my midwife. We called her and she walked us through the whole thing, while she was one her way out. When she got her, she helped clean up, cleaned us up, and took good care of us. All of this while Baby and I hung out on the couch. I can only imagine how different things would have been if we’d had to call 911. Ambulance, oxygen, immediate cord cutting, paramedics, hospital, less bonding, etc, etc, etc. Instead she came to us and took care of everything. It was such a calm beautiful experience. Next time we’ll just plan a home birth and save ourselves (and poor Rebecca) some trouble.
I guess it’s telling when at the end of the day, the only reason you’re sad you’re not pregnant anymore is because you don’t get to go see your midwife anymore.
I had two children in hospitals. And Two children with Rebecca. The first time in The Birth center & this last Sept. decided to try a home birth. Both times were wonderful. She fits in like one of the family. She makes every visit fun and exciting & ya just cant wait to go back. It’s like going to visit a good friend, not some doctor visit you are dreading. Rebecca loves children and it shows. She is very good at including the whole family. And with her there at my birth I never felt scared cause she can always handle what comes her way and she knows what to do. Thanks Rebecca Both experiences were so much fun!
Two out of my Three daughters have come into this world with the help of Rebecca. She is WONDERFUL! I can’t imagine sharing that experience with anyone else. She has always made me, as well as my entire family feel comfortable and cared for. I had a different midwife with my first child and then we moved. I was so blessed to find Rebecca while I was pregnant with my second baby and I have to say there is a difference even in midwives and in my opinion Rebecca is the absolute best! I have always had complete trust in her. Prenatal care is wonderful! She makes you feel like you and your body know how to care for the baby in and out of the womb (which we do). I love giving birth in the tub and the great sense of relief the warm water offers! During childbirth Rebecca really helped me understand how to work with my body to bring my baby out. The experience was amazing! Rebecca was just so attentive and concerned about my needs during my pregnancy, childbirth and recovery! I just can’t say enough about her! She is WONDERFUL! I love her so much that after I tell my husband and my parents that I am pregnant, she is the first person I call! I could never thank her enough for what she has done for myself and my family! I think every mother deserves this kind of care!
There is no one in the world like Rebecca!
I had my first 3 children “naturally” in the hospital and had 3 HORRIBLE experiences, the last one being completely ignored for 6 hours on Christmas day..so when I got pregnant with my 4th child I decided no more hospitals. I was seeing a different midwifery group and never felt they were “on top of things” -forgetting my heart condition and never even asking about family history of ANYTHING..that’s when I found Rebecca and WOW what a difference!! She is SO smart and thorough! I was instantly “in love” with her easy going, smiling, in depth way of making my husband at ease. He said after our first meeting years ago, I really like her, why can’t more nurses be like her?? I haven’t had a question yet that she can’t answer! and I ask A LOT of questions!! We had a home birth and I used my big garden tub and i think every woman should have the chance to labor in a soaking hot tub of water, I got out thinking my contractions had stopped! i was so pain free! Rebecca came to our home at 3 a.m.! slept for a bit on my couch as I tried to sleep and then at 10 we welcomed llittle girl #4. It was WONDERFUL! I tell everyone how very relaxing it is to labor at home, sleep when you want to, have someone so relaxed she can bustle around the kitchen and it feels just like family. I am now expecting little surprise #5 and am so grateful that I can relax! because when Rebecca is on the job, there is no need to worry, she takes care of everything! If you are wondering about a home birth or the pain of it, talk to her, go see her birthing sweeeeeet, it is beautiful. It will be the best experience!
I birthed with Rebecca for both of my children, (3 and 3 months old). The first time was at the birth center and the second time was at home. Both times I was so grateful to have Rebecca as my midwife. With my first pregnancy, due to the unexpededness of it and due to my moving around alot during my pregnancy, I still didn’t have a practicioner by my seventh month. When I moved to Utah, I started calling around for a midwife. I was having no luck, but Rebecca agreed to squeeze me into her already tight schedual. I am so grateful for this. Having her as my midwife, helped me to remain calm during my births, and although they were painful, I never felt scared. I knew that I was in good hands. Whenever I started to feel out of control, rebecca would give me some reaussring words, or a kind look and it made me feel better. I remember when I was in transition during my first labor, at one point I felt that I couldn’t take it anymore. And rebecca said that she would take one of my contractions for me if she could, and I felt that she really meant it. Just feeling that compassion from her was enough to give me the inner strength to go on. I really enjoyed our checkups too and felt as someone mentioned above that I was just meeting with a good friend. She was also so good with my toddler when I was expecting my second child. I would recomend her to anyone. I love her so much and although I’m not having any more kids, sometimes I wish I was just so I could have Rebecca as my midwife again.
Thank you Rebecca!
Being enabled in birth was such a wonderful experience! I can’t tell you how comfortable and relaxing the entire process was for us, especially since it was our first child. Rebecca was wholly informative, personable, amiable, and highly competent. She made sure we were aware of our options and encouraged us to make our own choices as to the delivery of our daughter (who came in April 2007). The water-birth was fantastic and an intimate experience, surrounded by loving, capable people.
I now live in Mississippi and am due in about 3 weeks with my second and *wish* it were possible to obtain such outstanding care and attention! There’s no way a hospital birth with a doctor could ever make you feel so fulfilled and happy with childbirth as does Rebecca. My only regret is moving too far to deliver with her again. Thanks beyond words!
I birthed with Rebecca going on 3 years ago at the birth center and I am still singing her praise! It was such a wonderful experience that I still tell people about it and refer all of my friends and family to her! Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience.
I was so happy to have a chance to get care from Rebecca. She is so sweet and always made me feel comfortable. My boys also loved going to her office and she was great with them. I had planned to give birth at her birth suite, and she did everything she could to help me, but sometimes babies choose their own way and I ended up transferring to a hospital. Rebecca went with us and made sure they were ready for us and came to visit me afterwards. I would birth with her again in a heartbeat.
Oh my gosh! Where to begin? Tears are coming to my eyes just thinking about how great Rebecca made our home birth experience and we are so excited about your new facility. We tell everyone about you! You made a miracle happen right here in our own tiny living room, and no one in our family will ever forget the amazing experiences we had. It was so great to go to appointments and visit with you. I felt more like I was meeting a friend for tea than getting “examined.” I never felt rushed, I always felt heard and understood, you helped calm the nerves of my trepidatious husband, and we are forever grateful to you for it. Our little fish (Monae was born in the birthing tub AND is a pisces! HA!) was so big and so healthy & is such a happy baby and I know birthing her with you was the best start we could have had for her. Your care & sensitivity through the whole pregnancy and birth and postpartum were unforgettable. Each of our 3 boys felt such a part of it because of you and were so close to Monae from the start. What a bond! You are a wonderful addition to this community and we’re thrilled to have you here! You are truly and Angel & we love you! Vince, Jenelle, Max, Merrick, Mitch & Monae

ok.. so It’s obviously late, I just started a coment and hit submit way too soon! Wow! it is the best way to describe my birth experiance and prenatal care I recieved for my daughter. Rebecca is so caring, gentle and kind, and I am very picky about who I choose for care providers in my life. The educated choices I made durring my duaghters birth, encouraged me to do more, be more, and experiance more for my daughters birth. Rebecca was the perfect fit, full of knowledge, encouragement, and such a beautiful warm presence. I have and will continue to recomend Rebecca to anyone who wants to look into other options, or even just looking for a great midwife! Everyone I know, who has been to Rebecca just rave about the wonderful care they recieved, and how beautiful their own births were as well.
Thank you Rebecca
Wow. Yes Wow! I
Rebecca Williams made my pregnancy and birth amazing. I am so glad that I found her. I had my first child in a hospital and it didnt feel like it was my birth, how I wanted everything to go. With my second though Rebecca let me have it just the way my husband and I desired. I love Rebecca. I am constantly raving about my birth I was able to do at home with her. She is AMAZING!!!!!
I am so exited for you Rebecca. That is so great to finally get everything in place. Now I can start thinking of my second child. I wouldn’t entrust another person to be there for me through my pregnancy and birth. You are awesome Rebecca. I will always cherish the irreplaceable memories you were with us to create. I have no regrets whatsoever; I couldn’t have asked for a better friend or midwife. I look forward in coming by to see you soon.
Since the day my son made his beautiful entrance, I have been singing Rebecca’s praises to anyone and everyone that will listen. The reasons are threefold:
First, she was SO supportive, so understanding, and she truly wanted me to have the birth that I had envisioned. No scoffs, no trying to convince me to change my mind, just loving support and respect for my opinions and desires. It means a lot to know that, when you’re too busy pushing a baby out to stick to your initial desires, your birth care provider will stick by your birth plan. She allowed me to listen to MY body, rather than telling me what I *should* be feeling.
Secondly, she was so COMPETENT. I was immediately relieved by how educated, capable, and calm she was. I had no fear, because it was seriously apparent that she knew what she was doing.
And also, she is just an awesome person. She made me laugh, she touched my heart, and I love her forever for the beautiful experience she helped me achieve.
Thank you, Rebecca!
I absolutely adore Rebecca, she kept me sane through my whole pregnancy experience. I am a first time mom so of course I worried about everything! Poor Rebecca had to deal with me calling her at all times of the night asking her all sorts of questions, but she always answered and would talk me through all of my worries. I did a home/water birth and I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Rebecca was phenomenal, she was so at ease during my entire labor process. Which helped me to feel confident and trusting of my body to be able to give birth naturally. I ended up giving birth to a beautiful 9 pound 1 ounce baby girl named Haven, we couldn’t have done it without her! I will never forget at my last appointment thinking I am really going to miss coming in every week and talking with Rebecca. She just has a way with pregnant woman, always making you feel like you are deliciously beautiful. We love you Rebecca and thank you for getting our little girl to us safe, happy and healthy:)
My husband and I have had both our children caught by Rebecca. She was always just as excited as we were that we were having a baby. She is such a soothing and stable presence during the labor and delivery that it supported our confidence to birth. We adore this individual and look forward to having her catch one more before we’re done breeding- maybe even in our own home!!
I had my first child at a hospital with an OB/GYN, and it was a pretty good experience. But the birth of my second with Rebecca was 10 times better! She really makes you feel at home and at ease. Instead of waiting 45 minutes for a 10 minute visit with an OB/GYN, you hardly ever wait for a 45 minute visit or longer with Rebecca. She’s awesome! My birth experience with her was the most amazing, positive experience ever! I hope to go to her in the future!
I am a mother of five beautiful children. Unfortunately I only delivered my fifth child with Rebecca. I learned so much about being pregnant and my body from Rebecca. You would think that I would have known everything there is to know by the fifth, but that is what you get from doctors and nurses. I had the first four in the hospital some with drugs others without, and I knew that I liked no drugs much better. I also wanted something more warm and inviting then a hospital which is why I look for a birthing center. I found Birth & Family Place and also Rebecca. I had about 5 weeks until my due date when the birthing center decided to go against what I thought they stood for. Then my husband and I had to decide what we were going to do for the delivery. We knew we wanted to use Rebecca but no longer had a place to go. I wanted to deliver at home but my husband had his concerns, she was so kind and wonderful to help us with any fears and questions we had. She was more of a friend and mentor then anything. I got so impatient at the end and Rebecca was so wonderful to answer my calls, no matter what time they were, and help me in any way possible. When the time came she was right there and it was so nice to be in my home and not have to get in the car and drive anywhere. She knew the best positions and was so encouraging. I think that delivering a baby is the best experience you could ever have but Rebecca made it even more special the way she treated us and the immediate time she gave us with our newborn. I know that she truly loves the process and our newborns as much as we do. I wish that I could of had this experience with the other four, but I tell everyone that will listen about it and that being at home and with Rebecca is the only way to have a baby. It is also great how even after a year she remembers my family and wants to get pictures. She is a wonderful and genuinely caring person. If a sixth blessing comes my way Rebecca will be the first to know and will be there to enjoy the experience with me again. Thank you for everything you have given me and my family.
I loved my experience at the Birth and Family Place with Rebecca. I had my second child at the birth center and my first child was at a hospital. What a difference! I felt great after my second birth and asked to go home after only five hours of delivering my baby. My labor was less than half of what it was with my first baby and my recovery was awesome! Rebecca really bonded with my family throughout the visits during my pregnancy. We love her personality and the time she took at each visit. If I am ever pregnant again, I would definitely go through the Birth and Family Place with Rebecca and would refer any mother there for a positive birth experience!
Rebecca Williams is the main reason we get to tell such a positive and happy Birth Story. Rebecca was always so welcoming, making us feel relaxed and comfortable, in the hands of a caring professional. Having had a hospital birth for my first baby, it was so refreshing to experience pre-natal care and a birth with Rebecca – this is what having a baby SHOULD be like. Rebecca’s skill as a midwife is clearly evident and I felt absolutely safe in her care and trusted her entirely to help me give birth to my baby without unnecessary intervention. She has an amazing ability to guide you and your body through the natural birth process. Our whole experience with Rebecca has been excellent, from pre-natal care to delivery, to post-partum care. I could not recommend anybody more highly than Rebecca – what a wonderful midwife.
Our experience with Rebecca and delivering at the Birth and Family Place couldn’t have been better. The birth was wonderful! We felt so safe and relaxed in the care of this wonderful midwife. We really felt like we directed our experience and that Rebecca was our advocate in helping us to have the best birth possible. It was such an incredibly personal and special experience for us to remember and treasure in our family memory!
