I had an amazing experience with Alison and Sanaz as my midwives. They are knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate and supportive. I truly felt cared for by them. After having a challenging first birth (at a different hospital and different midwifery practice), I was nervous about how my second experience would go. Alison and Sanaz made me feel so comfortable and at ease. Unfortunately, I ended up having to transfer to OB care due to medical concerns. But they both took the time to explain the risks and benefits to me and took all of the extra precautions and tests when it came to the health of myself and my son. Despite the transfer of care I was able to continue meeting with them up until my birth then resume care with them postpartum (which I was grateful for). The biggest surprise was that Alison still showed up to my birth and even helped deliver my son alongside the OB. Having her there meant so much as she went above and beyond to make my experience smooth. I can confidently say my second birth was not only 1000x better than my first, but that it was actually a beautiful and positive experience. Thank you Alison and Sanaz for being so incredible throughout this process!!! I will definitely be recommending you :)
I had the pleasure of working with Alison & Sanaz during my pregnancy. They both were very kind and attentive to my needs ands walked me through the process. Alison primarily took care of us during my pregnancy and delivery and was very happy with her services overall and she addressed my concerns in a timely fashion. Would highly reccomend Midwifery Services of Durham especially my post-op care for myself and baby put me at ease. Thank you again for taking care of my family for our first pregnancy. Would be happy to go back again!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Durham Midwives. We had team Maddie and Connie and they were incredibly attentive, compassionate, and deeply respectful of every choice we made during labour and birth. They took the time to explain all of our options clearly, supported our birth plan fully, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. Their care didn’t stop after delivery either — they continued to check in, offering thoughtful guidance and reassurance through those first few newborn weeks (Extra kudos to Connie as her calming presence during my wife's labour made her feel safe and empowered). It honestly upsets me that programs like this are so underfunded by the government. Midwives provide such essential, personalized care and play a vital role in the health and well-being of families and communities. They deserve far more support and recognition for the life-changing work they do. If you’re considering midwifery care, I can’t recommend Durham midwives enough — they truly go above and beyond.
I’m so incredibly thankful for the care I received from Durham Midwives throughout my pregnancy, labour, and postpartum period. Alison, Sanaz, and Alina made me feel supported, respected, and truly cared for every step of the way. Their kindness, patience, and professionalism turned my labour into a positive and empowering experience. I’ll be forever grateful for the compassion and expertise they brought into such an important chapter of my life. I highly recommend Durham Midwives to any expecting mom—you will be in the best hands!
We had our first pregnancy & birth with Durham midwives - team 2! Maddie and Connie always made us feel heard, validated, and supported. We had a great first birth at the AMU and the team did a great job to respect our birth wishes and ensure they were met as much as possible. The postpartum care we received set us up for success with our new baby. Every time we got a visit from Maddie or Connie we got invaluable advice that helped us get into our own groove those first few days. We cannot recommend them enough! Thank you so much!!
