I love this place! I chose this place after I had a "traditional" birth at Arrowhead hospital with a Dr who had high c-section rates and interventions, with my first son.
I knew I wanted something different after experiencing a 2nd degree episiotomy, being induced and had an epidural as well as no birth classes & hemorrhaged after being in labor for 24 hours, exhausted from no food or drink for almost 2 days. My then Dr, claimed birth classes were a waste of time and that all Moms should get epidurals too.
With my 2nd pregnancy, I educated myself and watched documentaries and read about my options and effects on baby etc etc etc. I originally wanted to perhaps do a home birth but my husband was not comfortable with that. We found two birth centers and really liked Blossom and also like the fact that one of the owners is a Dr. As well.
I ended up having two beautiful birth experiences here with these awesome midwives. I had Mary Langlois at both of my births there at blossom. She has such a calm way about her that is so reassuring and comforting when you're going through your birth experience and labor. They have years of experience and I'm so grateful that I chose them instead of another place. Their combined knowledge about birth, breastfeeding, labor partners/doulas, nutrition during birth, etc etc etc is just amazing and it's hard to find a provider that well rounded. Trust me I searched. I'm that type. If you're even considering a midwife and birth center or a home birth, I recommend the team at blossom birth center. They have wonderful birthing tubs, showers and it's all in a private room. They really take care of you and believe in YOU and your ability to birth in the way a woman is designed to. They are inspiring and I'm forever thankful and changed ever since my experiences birthing there with them. I had two beautiful water births and I pushed out two boys. One was 10lbs 9oz and 22" and the other was 10lbs 3oz and 22". They were confident in my ability to birth these large baby boys and I did it!!! My first Dr wasn't, which was why he induced me with my first son at Arrowhead, which was 9lbs 9oz and 22". I let my 1st Dr freak me out about size and my midwives believed in me and reassured me that even if something did happen we were only a handful of blocks away from the hospital if we needed or I wanted to go there at any point during my labor. I didn't need to go and I'm just so thankful I was able to have two water births at Blossom and have their awesome and experienced staff with me.
I live up in north Peoria near Lake Pleasant and they are down by the Children's hospital off of the Hwy 51 and Thomas rd. so it was a drive for me but so worth it. I don't care where you're at in the valley, quality is worth it in pregnancy.
I recommend this place to everyone!!! You won't be disappointed.
