Emme and her team bring a deep inner wisdom to birthing families. All babies should be brought into the world surrounded by such love!
We had always been intrigued by the idea of home birth but for our first baby, we decided to birth at the hospital. But well into my pregnancy, we decided to pay attention to that continuing curiosity about home birth. We interviewed with Trillium—just to learn more information—and nearly jumped out of our skin with excitement by the time we finished our meeting. We felt confident in their skills and in the level of care they would provide. We had found our birthing “dream team!” At 30 weeks we transferred our care from a local hospital midwifery clinic to the Trillium Midwives, deciding to bring our first baby into the world at home. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made and we can’t wait to hire Trillium when we get pregnant again.
Our prenatal and postnatal care was personalized and we never felt rushed through appointments.
That felt like a luxury compared to the hospitalized approach, but we also realized that in an ideal world, this kind of care is what all birthing families deserve! We looked forward to every visit. They bring so much joy to every appointment, while simultaneously brimming with knowledge (both book and intuitive), answering all of our questions and providing excellent care to me and my baby. After our baby was born, I was thankful to have regular visits and phone contact until I reached six weeks postpartum. It was a gift to know that I always had someone to call with questions—and believe me, as a new mama there were a lot of questions!
During my difficult labor, it was the knowledge, strength and confidence of these women by my side that carried me through. My hope is for every birthing [person] to feel as safe, secure, loved and supported as I did with these amazing midwives.
Though my birth ended with a non-emergency hospital transfer, I still had an amazing birth experience, and it is in large part due to the Trillium midwives. My midwives stayed by our sides, continuing to fill me with the confidence that I could birth my baby naturally—which I did!
