Would you like a hospital-free birth controlled by YOU?

Then Vicky at Labor of Love is the person you are looking for to help you.

Vicky is a licensed midwife with a childbirth center in central Tyler. She provides a full range of maternity care, delivery and post-partum care plus breast-feeding support for a fraction of the cost of a hospital delivery. You can chose to deliver at home or at her birth center (which by the way is just 5 minutes away from ETMC and TMF in case you have an anxious relative concerned that complications may arise). Vicky also does water births.

The Birth Center is a lovely old Tyler stately home with a clinical room downstairs and sonogram facilities next door. On the first floor is the delivery suite. It is just like a home – with a double bed, rocking chair and spa bath, plus additional facilities for housing members of the family that might want to be with you while you are in labor.

Vicky delivered my son at our home in Lindale. I chose midwife care because I didn’t want any unnecessary medical interventions and I feel that giving birth should be a nice relaxed ‘normal’ experience. I trust someone whose whole career revolves around normal childbirth rather than an surgeon who’s main job is to perform operations!

For me, not having to drive to into town was wonderful – Vicky has a clinic once a week in Lindale as well as her Tyler location. I saw no doctors at all during my pregnancy and delivery – Vicky did everything. She came to my house the week before I went into labor and on 3 subsequent visits after the birth to check on me and the baby. How nice it was not to have to get up and travel with a newborn to a doctor’s office whilst recovering from giving birth.

I opted for a waterbirth in the tub at home with candles and my music playing. Sure it was painful but Vicky had primed us well with techniques for getting through it and she was so encouraging and communicative that I felt I could get through anything. When the baby was born she checked him quickly then let us bathe together while she completed paperwork and tidied up. There was no rush or interference, I just had precious moments with my newborn that I will remember forever. My husband helped weigh and dress him and then we chilled out enjoying him together before our children woke up and disturbed the peace!

I have absolute confidence in Vicky’s abilities. As a nurse myself I had quizzed her a lot about what she would do if this or that happened. She is well equipped to deal with emergencies. I can truly say that I had a great childbirth experience and I wish that many more would ‘see the light’ and opt for midwife care too.
