After working as a doula, birth assistant, and student midwife for 7+ years, I have worked with many different midwives in both CA and TX. After attending just one birth as a birth assistant at Plano Birthplace, I was completely blown away at the skill, compassion, and truly family-centered care that Jeannine and Lindsay practice! Although I am friends and colleagues with many midwives in DFW, it was an EASY choice to choose Plano Birthplace for my own care.In Texas there are two types of midwives, and it was important for me to be under the care of a Certified Nurse Midwife, whose education and scope of practice is much more extensive than a CPM/LM. Another reason it was important for me to hire a CNM was to have a provider who had privileges at a hospital, in the rare case that I needed to transfer.Throughout my pregnancy I felt so celebrated, safe, empowered, and informed.When labor time came around, I was filled with so much peace and excitement in knowing that my midwives knew all of my birthing desires. With a small, intimate practice of just two midwives on the team, it really creates the opportunity for a close relationship that is what makes midwifery care so special.My birth was both beautiful and intense, and the way Midwife Lindsay stood by my side for more than “just” her medical tasks meant the world to me. Not only did she keep me and my baby safe, she also verbally encouraged and championed me the whole way. Lindsay’s wisdom on positioning and gentle guidance as I pushed my TEN pound baby girl helped me to have ZERO tearing!I hired Jeannine and Lindsay to provide the highest level of out-of-hospital prenatal, birth, and postpartum care. Beyond their expert clinical skills, they gave me and my family warm and precious memories of this pregnancy journey. They completely exceeded all of my expectations and I would shout from the rooftops for any mama considering a birth center birth to choose Plano Birthplace! Seriously, do it!

This place is just the best. I gave birth in hospitals for our first two but we used PBP for our third. We had such a wonderful pregnancy and birth experience we now want a fourth! We will definitely be using PBP again in the future if we have another and would definitely recommend them.Lindsay delivered our baby - she is a rockstar! I felt so comfortable and confident in her throughout our birth. I cannot say enough good things about Jeannine and Lindsay both. Love love love these people! Can’t wait to use them again.

When I found out I was pregnant with my first baby, I knew I wanted something different from what other women experience going to a hospital. I wanted a midwife, but not someone who lacked medical training or who was weird and new age-y. However, I didn’t want any unnecessary interventions pushed on me during such a vulnerable time. Plano Birthplace ended up being the PERFECT fit. The midwife’s, Jeanine and Lindsay, provided evidenced based research to me throughout my pregnancy and truly allowed me choose what was best for myself and my baby with no judgement.My birth was beautiful and non traumatic, which is unfortunately rare in our culture today..Jeanine sat with me patiently for 3 hours while I pushed. My baby was allowed to come when she was ready, and was born peacefully into the water. She was not rubbed down or handled roughly. She was treated gently and with dignity.Lastly, they provide continued support postpartum. They are well connected with a community of child birth educators, doulas, and lactation consultants, etc, and will stop at nothing to make sure you have proper support to be successful. Breast feeding was also difficult for me and without their support I don’t think I would have been as successful as I ended up being with it.I cannot recommend this birthing center enough. I will be back when it is time for baby #2!

I am so thankful that I got to give birth to my firstborn at Plano birthplace a birth center in Dallas area. I interviewed a couple of different midwifery practices and truly appreciated the attention and statistics that PBP provided me.I saw Lindsay throughout most of my care and seriously, she is a rockstar! I was extra thankful that despite not being on call, she stayed after her clinic shift to continue working through the birth of our daughter. She has a super power for quickly getting the Doppler right to baby’s heartbeat.I had a dream birth experience and am forever grateful. Lindsay was always so encouraging and helped me believe that my body was created to birth my baby; Jeannine also reinforced this messaging!I love how PbP helps equip moms with all of the best relationships - they have great recommendations for Doula care, chiropractic, pelvic floor therapy, and more.I especially appreciated all of the education we received during our childbirth education classes which were held at the birth center.To top off all the benefits, having text support for 12 weeks post partum was wonderful. When we got sent home with our baby, we had a trusted source to consult with at our fingertips! They were so helpful to us new parents. Thank you Plano birthplace for helping to deliver us a dream birth experience!

It’s honestly hard to put into words how special Plano Birthplace is. After birthing both of my sweet kids there (18 months apart), I recommend this birthing center to everyone. They make you feel so comfortable and respect your decisions while keeping you informed. As a RN, I know in a lot of hospitals you become a room number rather than a person. I didn’t want that experience when birthing my children. Jeanine helped birth both my babies and she is the most positive yet practical, encouraging midwife! Even after giving birth, each postpartum appointment she talks about how amazing you did during labor and birthing.
