We decided to go with a midwife and deliver our child at home because we wanted a birth that was going to be natural, serene and the way God intended it to be. I had completely made up my mind and no one was going to tell me that I couldn’t do it. Debbie was our wonderful midwife that made this unforgettable journey with us. Our labor officially began on December 30, 2012. I woke up determined to have our baby girl by the end of the year. Needless to say contractions started late that afternoon and continued through the evening growing progressively stronger. 18 hours of labor later our beautiful baby girl was born at 10:15am on December 31, 2012. To our amazement Marilyn Rose weighed 8 pounds 7 ounces and was 20 ½ inches long. She was beautiful, healthy and bright eyed. I had done it! I had a homebirth without drugs or any other interventions! I proved to my family, friends and myself how strong a woman can truly be; how strong I am. I will definitely do another homebirth with a midwife for all my future children, if God allows. My husband and I had a wonderful experience. Debbie was very knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. She helped deliver our gift that God blessed us with.

I just wanted to thank Debbie and her staff for a great experience. All throughout my pregnancy Debbie gave me the best care I could hope for, she was very thorough and always took plenty of time to answer all of my questions (there were many). She went beyond my expectations advising on nutrition, childbirth classes and general wellness that I wouldn’t have gotten from another doctor. She was a calm knowledgeable presence during my labor (I was the opposite) and any bumps we had were expertly handled. Even after delivery the excellent care continued with breastfeeding help and overall wellness checks and advice for my baby daughter and I. We couldn’t have had a better person (and team) supporting us throughout this very special time, thanks again from the Gates family!!

Choosing Debbie as my midwife for our first child was the best decision I could have made.   I really felt I could completely put my trust in her.  She is so knowledgable and professional.  I know having my birth at home gave me the best outcome possible. Debbie and her nurse were so supportive.  They used massage to help me relax and I really felt like they were there to serve and care for me.   This was one of the most powerful moments in my life.  I am so happy that I had a team I could completely trust there to get me through the toughest moments.  Words cannot express how thankful I am.  I feel so blessed to know Debbie.  I am looking forward to my future births with her!

When my husband and I decided on a natural birth for our first child, we did tons of research and interviewed a number of OB/GYNs, Doulas and Midwifes. We definitely made the right choice with Debbie Boucher. She spent time with us, answered all of our questions and cared for us throughout the pregnancy. We could not be happier  with the outcome the day our daughter was born. Debbie was extremely professional, supportive and made the greatest day of our lives as perfect as we could have imagined. Baby number two will absolutely be born the same way.

“It has been an absolute pleasure working with you! Our family would like to thank you for helping us realize our dream of having a home (water) birth. It was such a great and empowering experience. This was completely different then the hospital birth with my first baby; you guided me through it, but I felt like I was in control…I was not at the mercy of a dozen nurses checking off a chart! Thank you for all your dedication to your work, and we also would like to recognize your effort in being as environmentally friendly as possible!! You are a perfect fit for our family!”

“Our prenatal care with Debbie was top-notch. Visits were always relaxed, never rushed and she didn’t seem to mind the interruptions from my curious toddler. She was exceptionally responsive and thorough when I had problems or questions and always made time to help me when little things arose during my pregnancy. Most importantly, Debbie’s quiet, calm presence was a source of great support and strength during my birth. She knew just how and when to coach and comfort. With Debbie’s help, my son’s birth was just as wonderful as we’d hoped.”

“I knew what 2 things I wanted for our last pregnancy: to have a midwife that is a Christian and to have a “hands off as much as possible” birth. I got both of those things with Debbie. To the extent that when I was waiting anxiously for my contractions to start after my water started to leak, I asked Debbie to please pray for me. She told me she had already been! Our 9th baby, Peter was born at home, in water.”

~ Martina D.

“We knew from the start that we wanted our baby to be born in a relaxed, loving environment. With Debbie’s guidance and coaching, we were able to welcome our daughter to the world from the comforts of our own home. The personal attention that Debbie provided was invaluable. Working with a midwife was a great decision for us! Thank you Debbie!”

“After hearing so many wonderful stories from friends about home birth I decided to give Debbie a call and make an appointment. My husband and I were quickly put at ease after meeting Debbie and her answering all of our questions and concerns. Debbie was such a blessing to me throughout my entire pregnancy. Unfortunately, I had several problems arise during my pregnancy and one of them that caused me to go on bedrest. Debbie always stayed calm and gave me wonderful advice any moment I needed it. At exactly 37 weeks pregnant my perfectly healthy baby boy entered the world. Although, I wasn’t prepared mentally or physically for his arrival Debbie was prepared. She brought everything needed for the delivery to my house and was a pro every step of the way. If you are considering having a home birth I highly recommend this wonderful woman of God. She is so positive and encouraging during the labor process!”

“Having Debbie as my midwife for my fifth pregnancy was a great privilege. Previously, I had four deliveries at three different hospitals and my fifth was the best experience. Debbie took her time at each appt to get to know my family and me. I had a waterbirth at home with a great midwife. I highly recommend Debbie and I’m willing to answer any questions you have that might help you make your decision to have a homebirth with Debbie Boucher.”
