Home Birth Du Boisé De Blainville

This is one of the most beautiful places I’ve visited in Quebec. My girlfriend gave birth here and midwives are extremely professional. They are kind hearted and the birth process is so much more human than at the hospital. I highly recommend maison naissance, and applaud their entire team for the service they provide not just to locals, but to humanity. Thank you so much for all that you guys do, and I hope good fortune comes to maison naissance.

I had an absolutely amazing experience with the midwives here! I had a home birth, and was taken great care of! I met quite a few of the midwives and everyone was kind and friendly. My midwife, Christine was phenomenal, I ended up with a very quick labour and she kept me calm and focused when I needed it. The entire team who assisted was marvellous, they cleaned everything up, I had accidentally left a load of clothes in the washer, so they just washed, dried and folded my laundry along side all the sheets, towels and blankets used for my delivery. Other than the new baby, you could barely tell if given birth in my home! The after care was amazing as well, the midwives came to my home for the first few follow ups instead of having to go to them. Then they continued to see us until the baby was 6 weeks old, which is a lot longer than I got with an OBGYN! I wish I had all of my babies at home with midwives, it was a much more calm, soothing, personal and intimate experience, without doctors/nurses pushing for epidurals or trying to speed up my already quick labours!

When I found out I was pregnant I first was being seen by an OBGYN. I however was on the waiting list for a midwife. I dreaded every visit I had with the OBGYN. He never asked permission for anything he treated me less than human. I wanted to feel safe and cared for because it was my first pregnancy. I had the chance to have Mongia&Naza for midwives . They were both so wonderful. So accommodating, so understanding, so kind and caring. I tried giving birth naturally but my body was not cooperating . My midwife helped me coped with the pain until she saw that I could not take it anymore and drove me to the hospital for an epidural. She stayed with me until she had to leave for another patient of hers also giving birth. She explained to me everything they were going to do and she even came at the very end when I was pushing . She also came back later that day to help my baby latch. I’m just sooo grateful. Especially in this covid times , I didn’t feel alone , I didn’t feel misunderstood. She advocated for me the whole time she was in the room. Thank you to the whole team at maison du boisé

There is no way we can ever thank our midwife enough for the competence, compassion, support, and confidence she gave us through the pregnancy and birth of our baby. We've been completely blessed through this incredible journey. I wish everyone could have the experience we've had. We will never forget how much our midwife, doula and the team at the birthing center did to help bring our child into our lives.

Translated by Google The birth center is good, we went there for the first appointments of the pregnancy. Very bad experience with the midwife Mirabelle. She canceled my appointment without telling me because my spouse and I had concerns. She was very cold on the phone when I tried to understand the situation, she left me in a precarious situation when I was about 20 weeks old. Finally after having succeeded in finding a doctor for the follow-up, the file was very incomplete. I have very bad memories of this experience. Original La maison de naissance est bien, nous y avons été pour les premiers rendez-vous de la grossesse. Très mauvaise expérience avec la sage-femme Mirabelle. Elle a annulé mon rendez-vous sans m'en aviser car mon conjoint et moi avions des inquiétudes. Elle a été très froide au téléphone quand j'ai essayé de comprendre la situation, elle m'a laissé dans une situation précaires alors que j'étais rendue à 20 semaines environ. Finalement après avoir réussi à trouvé une médecin pour le suivi, le dossier était très incomplet. Je garde un très mauvais souvenir de cette expérience.

Translated by Google We had a wonderful experience at the birthing center. My husband and I loved the follow-up and support from our midwives. We would be ready to relive a new adventure there without the slightest hesitation. We feel listened to and well cared for. Thank you very much for everything! Original Nous avons eu une merveilleuse expérience à la maison de naissance. Mon conjoint et moi avons adoré le suivi et le soutien de nos sages femmes. Nous serions prêts à revivre une nouvelle aventure là bas sans la moindre hésitation. On se sent écouté et bien encadré. Merci infiniment pour tout !

Translated by Google I loved my birthing center experience from start to finish. The availability and the atmosphere are incredible. The midwives are gentle, kind and attentive. All the little extras made my follow-up and my delivery perfect. Original J'ai adoré mon expérience à la maison de naissance du début à la fin. La disponibilité et l'ambiance sont incroyables. Les sages femmes sont douces, gentilles et à l'écoute. Tout les petits plus ont rendu mon suivi et mon accouchement parfait.

Translated by Google My experience at this birth center was traumatic. 3 years ago, for my first delivery, I was welcomed by my midwife around 11 p.m. on a freezing winter evening. She immediately let me know that she was tired. Already, it surprised me and made me uncomfortable. During my labour, she told me that I wasn't relaxing my pelvic muscles enough. Someone came to sing in my room without me being able to refuse, I was so weak and in pain. My midwife spoke to me like a football coach. She went to rest and left me with a woman I had never met, who barely spoke French. The curtains on my bedroom window had been left open, which overlooks the entry ramp where people could come in and see me. I was naked and vulnerable. After hours and hours of labor where I remained 4 dilated, I asked to be transferred to the hospital. My midwife answered me, and I quote 'But you don't even scream' and 'We only have another 4-5 hours'. I insisted, I was living a nightmare. When I got to the hospital, I was put on the pitocin to get my baby out as soon as possible. Almost 12 hours later, I was this close to having a caesarean section. My baby came out and didn't cry. He had to be placed on a CPAP for 5 hours, then remained in the nursery for observation for 12 hours. I did not have him in my arms when he was born, he was in distress. I don't know if my son would be alive if I hadn't made the decision to go to the hospital. I keep a nightmarish memory of the hours spent in this birthing center, where I was not entitled to any tenderness, except from my spouse. For my second and last child, I went straight to the hospital, where I had a magical birth. I would have liked my midwife to be more attentive to my needs, ask me questions and assess my condition more seriously. I wish she had been more gentle. There, it is said. Original Mon expérience à cette maison de naissance a été traumatisante. Il y a 3 ans, pour mon premier accouchement, j’ai été accueillie par ma sage femme vers 23h un soir glacial d’hiver. Elle m’a tout de suite fait comprendre qu’elle était fatiguée. Déjà, ça m’a surprise et m’a rendue mal à l’aise. Pendant mon travail, elle m’a dit que je ne relaxais pas assez mes muscles pelviens. Quelqu’un est venu chanter dans ma chambre sans que je sois capable de refuser tellement j’étais faible et souffrante. Ma sage femme me parlait comme un coach de football. Elle est allée se reposer et m'a laissé avec une femme que je n'avais jamais rencontré, qui parlait à peine français. On avait laissé les rideaux de ma fenêtre de chambre ouverts, qui donne sur la rampe d’entrée où les gens pouvaient arriver et me voir. J’étais nue et vulnérable. Après des heures et des heures de travail où je restais dilatée à 4, j’ai demandé à être transférée à l’hôpital. Ma sage femme m’a répondu, et je cite ‘Mais tu ne cries même pas’ et ‘On en a seulement pour encore 4-5 heures’. J’ai insisté, je vivais un cauchemar. Rendue à l’hôpital, j’ai été mise sur le pitocin pour faire sortir mon bébé au plus vite. Presque 12h après, j’ai été à deux doigts d’aller en césarienne. Mon bébé est sorti et n'a pas pleuré. Il a dû être placé d'urgence sur un CPAP pendant 5 heures, puis resté à la pouponnière en observation pendant 12 heures. Je ne l’ai pas eu dans mes bras à sa naissance, il était en détresse. Je ne sais pas si mon fils serait en vie si je n’avais pas pris la décision d’aller à l’hôpital. Je garde un souvenir cauchemardesque des heures passées dans cette maison de naissance, où je n’ai eu droit à aucune tendresse, sauf de la part de mon conjoint. Pour mon deuxième et dernier enfant, je suis allée directement à l’hôpital, où j’ai eu un accouchement féérique. J’aurais aimé que ma sage femme soit plus à l’écoute de mes besoins, me pose des questions et évalue mon état plus sérieusement. J’aurais aimé qu’elle fasse preuve de plus de douceur. Voilà, c’est dit.
