I surveyed 80 moms who delivered their babies with a midwife, and there were 2 top clinics they recommended.
The Woman’s Way Midwife offers midwifery and birth Services, women’s care, family practice and well-child’s visits
.
Mercy Midwife offers a different kind of experience since they are connected to the Mercy hospital. You will still get all the perks of being cared for by a midwife, BUT since you are still in the hospital, they offer the option to have a medicated birth while still being close to a hospital in case of an emergency.
Moms who decide to have an unmedicated birth with be put in the clinic’s room, which looks like a hotel room with normal beds. They also have a large tub for mothers who want to have a water birth. They allow as much food and drink and even have a mini-fridge in some rooms. They offer a relaxed experience for moms with many laboring options.
Many moms loved working with Sarah Jones, a local midwife in Springfield MO, who offers her services in Mercy Midwifery, saying she offered the best pregnancy and birth experience many moms have ever experienced.
Whichever midwife in Springfield MO, you decide to go to, you are in good hands. Both clinics are highly regarded and known for their excellent care, as well as many others.
