Push Midwifery

Robyn attended one of my Births as a back up midwife and i was so grateful to have her by my side as i delivered my 2^nd son. She was so kind, caring, sweet, supportive! I highly recommend her services. I keep in Touch with her all these years and she is outstanding and Professional!

I kept in touch with her even after my baby was born and if I am blessed enough to have another child I would use her again.

I was so grateful to have Robyn Pool as my midwife during my pregnancy and when I delivered my son at home in May 2014. My pre-​natal visits were never rushed. She spent time to answer all of my questions and to get to know my husband and I. When I went into labor, her calm and loving vibe helped me stay focused and positive. It was physically and mentally the hardest moment of my life, but with Robyn there I never once had any doubts or fears, only confidence. I would highly recommend Robyn and Push Midwifery!
I also want to add that I had my birth at home, but have had my follow up visits at the birthing center. It is truly beautiful. I would have had a very comfortable birthing experience had I decided on doing it there.

I not speak good English as I am a Mexican immigrant, she has been patient with my English and then got a translator when necessary! I was born at home in Mexico and my seven brothers and sister were born at home, even though me and my wife live in America now, we wanted to have a homebirth! We are so grateful for Robin! She take very good care of my wife and my son!

Personally my experience with Robyn was extremely negative. I did not choose her and I would never recommend her to anyone.
I called her to interview her as my midwife as I was having second thoughts about the one I had chosen. I asked her to keep our conversation confidential as it is a hard choice to switch care providers. She agreed to be discrete and confidential about our conversation until I made a decision.
Well she must have practically called my current midwife within seconds after hanging up with me. This clearly shows her lack of respect for patient/​provider confidentiality and exemplifies her untrustworthiness-​not to mention being a gossip.
All I could think when I learned of her action was if she behaves this way now how could I begin to trust her assistance during a birth.
Choosing a midwife is a highly personal decision and I fully understand what doesn’t work for one person might be perfect for another. If you find yourself like I did not working with the right person you should feel no guilt switching to someone who works best for you. And you certainly have the right to do so.

My husband and I had an amazing experience birthing our daughter Eden with Robyn and fully intend on having her as our midwife for any future births. We had a VERY long birthing process that did not go exactly as we had planned but Robyn stayed by us the whole time, keeping me calm and focused until our Eden was safely in our arms. She supported all of our birthing decisions and was nothing but loving. To this day we maintain a strong relationship with her. I highly recommend her as she is skilled in her work and a profoundly enjoyable presence.

We just had our successful natural home birth 7 weeks ago and we are so grateful that we went with Push Midwifery! We chose dual care throughout my pregnancy– seeing my OB and Robyn as my midwife simultaneously, but towards the end I stopped seeing my OB because there was no comparison in the quality of care. Our OB came highly recommended from several of my friends but I always felt rushed. Our midwife/​doula team was amazing! My mom was weary of me having a home birth and grilled Robyn and Angela on our 2 separate initial consultations (lasting a few hours each). They took the time to answer every single question, got to know us, never rushed us, and made the whole experience wonderful. I always felt well cared for and quickly knew I could trust these women. They worked around my crazy work schedule, drove to my home in Lake Balboa for all of our appointments, and checked on me often before, during, and in the weeks following the birth. Our birth itself was intense with back labor but I never felt like I had to go to the hospital. I felt supported and safe the whole time and so did my partner. Robyn asked him if he wanted to catch his baby and it turned out to be THE
highlight of his whole life! :) We are planning on going with Push again for our next baby’s home birth, whenever that may be. Look no further if you are looking for a midwife who truly cares, is knowledgable, attentive, professional, safe, and loving. The whole experience was so empowering and I feel great about the way our son lovingly came into this world.

Robyn is absolutely wonderful! She came to our house, worked around our busy schedules, to help us prepare for the delivery of our daughter.
Robyn is very educated on all aspects of labor & delivery. I knew I wanted an epidural and even though Robyn strongly supports natural delivery she supported my decision. She made my husband and I feel very comfortable, making it very easy to talk to her. She answered all of our questions and eased all of our concerns.
After my daughter was born, I contacted Robyn a few times regarding breastfeeding. She was very supportive, encouraging and insightful. She definitely helped me through a challenging time and helped me realize what was best for my daughter.
I highly recommend Robyn!
