Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola Midwives 5153 North 9th Avenue, Pensacola, FL 32504

"I’m incredibly thankful for this team at SH. From being greeted by Miss Sundae at the front desk, Christina taking the vitals, then having Amber and Ashley listen and empower at each appointment. Amber’s bedside manner was exactly what I needed during labor as she is so experienced and calm which helped me relax. Hope to work with them again in the future ;)"

"The most AMAZING midwives!!! I can’t say enough good things about the midwives at Sacred Heart. I was excited to go to every prenatal appointment because all 3 midwives treated me like a friend rather than a patient. They took the time to get to know me and my family as well as my personal birth plan desires. BIRTH EXPERIENCE Ashley was my midwife for the birth of our daughter. It was evident that she took the time to go through my birth plan and In doing so, I was provided the labor and delivery experience of my dreams! I really don’t think I could’ve gotten through it without her and my husband there. Her demeanor and amazing bedside manner made me stay calm and confident throughout the whole process. Another side note. When I first arrived at the hospital, the triage assigned me to a regular labor and delivery room. I asked to be placed in the nesting place bc I desired a birth without any additional medical interventions. The staff reached out to my midwife and next thing you know I was placed in one of the nesting place suites. Ashley then came into the room to see me and saw they placed me in a room without a tub. She knew one of my hopes was to possibly labor in the birthing tub. She talked to the medical staff and requested I be placed in a room with a tub and sure enough…. It happened!! She was always advocating for me and always made sure my requests were being heard. Do NOT believe the negative reviews!! REASON: Part of having a natural birth is to view the whole process as what our bodies were made to do rather than as an illness (being a “patient”) as many OBs view labor and delivery. I read some of the negative google reviews and they couldn’t be father from the truth. It sounds like there are people who want a “natural birth” but yet want medical staff to always be present and to be ready to intervene at a moments notice. Midwives are there to assist but ultimately allow the woman to be in charge of her labor and delivery experience. This is what I received and I couldn’t have been any happier. Ashley was present the entire time while I was delivering our baby girl and gave me supportive advice and suggestions whenever I asked. The atmosphere was so calming that it made me forget I was even in the hospital. I was able to have my support person by my side and share that intimate experience of birthing our child. Thank you Ashley, Amber, and Alyssa (the midwives at Sacred Heart) for everything! If your desire is to have a natural birth with a team of women who truly care about you and your desires… then have your care with the Midwives group at Sacred Heart."

"Our experience with the midwives could not have been better. They really take the time to answer your questions at every visit. I never felt rushed at any of my appointments. Their office is a very comfortable environment and all of the staff knew me by name within a few appointments. If you’re wanting to have an unmedicated birth, the midwives at Sacred Heart are incredible at helping you achieve it. (But even if you’re not planning on unmedicated, they are very supportive either way!) We gave birth to our baby in the low intervention suites and it was a dream. Amber ended up being the one to deliver our baby, and she could not have done a better job at being involved throughout labor but also giving us our space and keeping our environment as distraction free as possible. My husband and I are both so happy with our hospital visit and birth experience!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with midwifery group at Sacred! Specifically, Amber—who took care of me prenatally and delivered our baby! I am a first time mom who desired a low intervention/natural birth despite my pregnancy being high risk. Amber and the team always prioritized education in their office which allowed me to make informed decisions about my birth plan. She stayed with me a majority of the time along with my doula (my labor was 34-36 hours long) and encouraged me along the way. I never once felt rushed to make strides during my labor or pressured into any decision. After my baby was born, Amber came to visit me on the postpartum unit and checked on us both. Another midwife from the same group stopped by as well to check in during my stay. I have to give the front desk recognition too because they were always so nice and welcomed me by name. From start to finish I experienced nothing but compassion and quality care. Thank you Sacred Heart Midwives for all you do!"
