What parents say
I had a great experience with Caitlin and Emily! I switched to their care when I was around 20 weeks pregnant and it was the best decision we could have made! They were both great to work with.
We had a wonderful experience with Caitlin and Emily for the birth of our fourth child. They made us feel very confident in our choice to have a home birth. They were always very thorough in answering any questions we had and made sure that they weren't leaving any concerns unanswered.
I felt so at peace with our decision of a home birth for our second baby after our first meeting with Caitlin! I knew right away we had found the right provider. Caitlin and Emily are both so calm and down to earth! They are both so knowledgeable from both their professional and personal experiences.
We're so grateful to have found Des Moines Midwife Collective. Caitlin and Emily were amazing to work with. Without their decision to accept our insurance, I'm not sure if we would have been able to have the homebirth that we wanted.
