"We are thankful and grateful for the excellent care mom and our baby got, from start to finish here at the CCWC! Christa (the midwife) was AMAZING! Caring, competent, helpful, reassuring, friendly and more. We couldn’t have asked for more! We would recommend this place to anyone, and would do it again ourselves here in a minute! Well.. maybe in a little longer time, having enough time to enjoy this new miracle of ours!” Susan & Peter from Harrison, NY

"I would like to thank Cathy, Beth & Naomi (midwife and attending nurses) for my life changing birth experience. Your professionalism, compassion, patience & encouragement will never be forgotten. The entire birth experience was so special & will remain with me for the rest of my life” Melanie & Mark from Stamford, CT

"My birth was not the typical textbook labor. I was a “tiny” 5’2” guaranteed to have a HUGE baby and that’s why I chose the birthcenter. That and the fact that all 3 of my sisters and closest friends had C-sections. I had begun to wonder if it was any longer possible for women to experience natural childbirth. Thanks to Christa (midwife), though my labor in a typical hospital setting would definitely have ended in a C-section, I got to enjoy natural childbirth – and the empowered feeling that came from pushing a 9 lb 12 oz baby after I hit a “failure to progress” at 8cm dilation. Christa’s calm confidence, encouragement and knowledge pulled us through the rest of the way, which at the end looked like nothing short of a miracle! We wouldn’t realize until later that we would have our next two babies at the birthcenter, with different attending midwifes, and yet have an ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL experience with each of the births! But the feeling of empowerment you get from your first labor lasts a life time! Martin still remembers how each of our three babies were so alert and completely aware and awake during that first hour after the birth” Amala & Martin from Redding, CT

"Thanks so much for another wonderful birth experience! I wouldn’t have had my girls any other way or with any other people – you guys ROCK!!!” Felicia & Anthony from Danbury, CT

"Our baby’s birth was amazing! Cathy (the midwife) was great! She went along with me and what I wanted to do, instead of trying to get me to do something I didn’t feel was right. She was very supportive and there every second of the way!” Konnie & Brian from Danbury, CT

"Truly a miracle! Kyle arrived 3 weeks after mom’s water broke! Cathy & Crista (midwives) were so patient in checking how the baby was doing during those 3 weeks. On Cathy’s recommendation we induced on 5/11. After nearly 9 hours of Pitocin, and a half hour in the hot tub, Cathy wisely puled mom out of the tub to check how far along we were. Thank God she did because Kyle was here! He literally flew out onto the table! We can’t thank Cathy & Krista enough for what they’ve done for us. If you’re reading this, it probably means you’re expecting soon. Know you are in the best of hands with these women! They are amazing and we can’t say enough good things about our experience here. Thanks Crista & Cathy for helping and guiding Lisa through those 3 weeks and especially through labor!” Danny & Lisa from Brewster, NY

"The birth center and midwives enabled us to have the personal, non-interventional, natural birth and prenatal experience that we chose for ourselves and our baby. It was wonderful!" Stephanie & Nick from Easton, CT

"What a wonderful birth experience! Luckily our labor & delivery went relatively easily. We were well looked after both the midwives and nurses. Our favorite moments were snuggling in bed with our newborn and then sharing our baby with our 2-ear-old Emma. The homey atmosphere made us all feel comfortable & happy. Thank you!!” Louis & Katherine from Danbury, CT

"Many thanks… Your prenatal and postpartum care was excellent! At every visit we felt your personal attention to who we were and what we wanted during our pregnancy and birth. Despite our reservations about having a hospital bith, we were very pleased with the outcome. We had worried that our birth plan would be ignored because of the induction, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that everyone was supportive and helped us carry through with that plan once labor started. We were particularly pleased that Craig, my husband, could deliver our baby!” Jennie & Craig from North Salem, NY

"Moira, being our fourth baby, we had some idea of how the labor might go and we fully prepared the other children by watching birth videos, practicing birth noises and positions and reading books…during pushing with my eyes closed, I could hear the children debating about who could eat which granola bar from the multipack, while at the same time exclaiming “Oh! I see the head!”, and “It’s my turn to hold the flash light!” When I opened my eyes, the kids were all sitting cross-legged between my knees, my sister was holding the video camera and drinking dunkin donuts coffee very casually, Cathy and the nurse Irene were nonchalantly preparing supplies and calmly encouraging me. It was surreal!! Rob, my husband, was at my back so I couldn’t see his reaction to this scene. What was so different about this birth was seeing it happen through my family’s eyes and knowing that this is what parenting is all about – thinking of your loved ones needs and feelings first. That is the best pain medicine there is! I was so proud of everyone. Thank you birth center for making this possible for us!” Sue, Rob, Clare(6), Kristen(5), & Shane (3) from Carmel, NY

"I thought my 35 minute drive to the birth center was too long… until I met a family from Nigeria in the waiting room. This family had travelled ALL THE WAY from Nigeria, for the birth of their second baby after the fabulous experience they had with their first baby. Now I feel fortunate that I am close enough to the birth center to have experienced all three of our babies’ births!” Molly from Ridgefield, CT
