Customer ReviewsforMama’s Midwife, LLC

I can not say enough good things about Wantina! She is hands down the best provider I have had for all of my births. This was my second birth with her and just like the first, it was amazing. She is so attentive, warm, and caring and really knows how to take care of the whole person. When I was first looking for a midwife several years ago, I did a lot of research and ultimately chose Wantina for her evidence-based practice, her ability to provide all the care I needed right in her office, and her years of experience. As a medical professional myself, those things were very important to me as well as her ability to listen and be able to handle any situation that may arise. I felt completely safe and well cared for every step of my pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a homebirth!

She did not show up to my house until I was already in active labor at around 7:30 pm and left students there unsupervised. I knew when he was born something was wrong. He didn’t cry, he grunted and gasped. He was purple. His oxygen never came above 70%. I asked for an ambulance. I was denied. I was told “it can take an hour for this to get better”. In the interim of this, my placenta was retained and I was hemorrhaging. Another student, whom I had never even met, was told to practice and stabbed me several times in her attempts to get an IV. I stopped listening at that point. I told my husband to call anyways and they finally listened. My baby died in my arms on the stretcher as the EMS was taking us in. My son was anoxic on arrival with oxygen levels of 20% and placed on ECMO and cooling. At this point, I never heard from the midwife again - in fact she locked me out of my records within 3 days of us being admitted to the hospital. The student graciously checked in on me several times but never the midwife. I was separated from my son and kept due to a massive septic infection and hemoglobin levels of 6.9. We watched and waited for 6 long weeks of NICU stay. I didn’t know how things would end up and the first week, the neurologists and NICU doctors told me to prepare for the worst. I spent the first few days of my son’s life looking at caskets and funeral homes. In nothing short of a miracle, my son has made a meaningful recovery despite a diagnosis of HIE and a pH of 6.9 and sustained O2 levels of 20%. THIS IS NOT THE NORMAL. The normal outcome is severe deficit or death. The negligence of this “provider” almost cost us both our lives. I DO NOT recommend Mama’s midwife or Wantina B*****-R****. I will scream this from the rooftops until she is closed down for good. We dismissed our lawsuit because I genuinely do not want a dime as much as I want this to never happen to anyone else.

Mamas run! For the sake of your life and your babies life. Especially if you have insurance. They will keep you home no matter what it cost to charge your insurance 40k +. I had the most traumatic experience and it is a miracle that Im here and my baby is here. This place needs to be shut down! Beware.
