New Life Midwifery Services

Sarah cared for me through the pregnancy and birth of my second child. I felt extremely well cared for, the care was tailored well to meet my individual needs. I had a fantastic birth and postpartum experience with Sarah, who wanted to be sure that I would be well cared for after my birth. I hope to use Sarah for all other pregnancy care in the future! p.s. I wanted to address other people's concerns that Sarah is sometimes hard to get a hold of - the reason for this is that she very busy! Call again, and you can get a hold of her.

I changed to Sarah halfway through my pregnancy and have/had zero regrets. She respected my decisions and supported me in the most loving and caring way possible. Sarah may have been difficult to reach initially, however, she doesn't, (well didn't at the time), have clerical staff helping her. She was doing everything solo. She was the first to arrive for the birth, although she lived the furthest. Sarah was near me almost the whole labor other than a few brief times, (probably when she was getting a water or food for me that I didn't want). CNMs who will consent to HBACs are a rare find, and Sarah was definitely the best for me.

Her knowledge, her strength, her wisdom, all came together for me and I'm so grateful to her. Because of risk factors, I was unable to have a home birth, but Sarah agreed to assist at Evanston Hospital. This is unusual. The reason I share this is to say that I was attended by a different midwife from 2pm until 10pm when I asked Sarah to come and help. As soon as she arrived, she told me that to do if I wanted things to go better and it worked! I really saw how she's at another level from regular midwives. She is amazing. If you are considering Sarah, don't be put off by any of the other reviews. I know quite a bit about Sarah's practice because I know many of her clients. To weigh a bad review from someone who had one appointment verses someone who had a whole pregnancy and birth with Sarah is not useful. One person complains that Sarah had to reschedule an appointment due to a birth. Really? Would you rather she attended to you instead? If you are looking for one of the very best midwives in Chicago, you've found her.
