Moon Tower Midwifery

Does anyone have any experience with giving birth at Moon Tower Midwifery in Austin?

It’s a hospital-based midwifery practice, and I’m really interested in learning more about it. I know it’s been around for about a year, but it seems a bit tricky to get information since they don’t schedule appointments unless you’ve already transferred care.

If anyone has delivered there or looked into it, I’d love to hear about your experience, how the process works, and what you thought of the care. Any insights or advice would be super helpful!

My neighbor delivered there and loved it & would use them again. I saw in various Austin mom groups others highly recommended as well.

She said they are very popular because they are good and book up quickly.

I was transferred to them from my first midwife when giving birth to my son in April last year. Everyone was very nice and they listened to all my concerns. When I gave birth in the hospital there was only the midwife and like two nurses in the room with my husband. When I was there they had 3 midwives and I met with each of them at least once because you weren’t sure who would be delivering your baby. Postpartum I went to 3 appointments in six weeks to check on me and baby. Some of them were an optional phone call if you didn’t want to go in. Baby was welcome to all appointments after birth and my two year old came with me to most of my appointments before. I think they require that you take a birthing class and an information session at the hospital. They took our insurance too which was cool.

I had a great experience with them! There are 4-5 different midwife’s and you see all of them since you don’t know who will be on call when you go into labor. I loved all of them except one and she was the one on call when I went into labor. Halfway through my labor the on call shift changed and a different midwife actually delivered my baby and she was wonderful!! I don’t want to share their names on here but if you message me I’d be happy to tell you more!

Thank you all so much for sharing your experiences! I was also wondering — did anyone end up using any medications, such as an epidural or Pitocin, during labor?

if you need pitocin or request an epidural during labor you have to move to the normal hospital labor rooms for monitoring. I’m pretty sure the most you can do for medical pain management is the gas. Midwives are allowed to give shots of Pitocin after labor to help with bleeding.

11 weeks pp and pregnant?!

Im absolutely shitting myself, me and my partner have been so carefull (we use condoms and he also pulls out) but im late on my period and i cant get to the shop for a few days due to no car and im thinking im possibly pregnant. When i was pregnant before the animals were different the dog became more protective of me and the cat hated me and always tried to bite me. and they have recently been the same. Im trying to think if i have any possible early symptoms so i can convince myself im not 😂 the only thing i have is feeling sick alot and nauseous lol.

Pregnancy after c section

I need advice I had a c section and my baby now is 7 months. We definitely want a second one, just not sure when it is safe to plan the second one. I would like a natural birth because we want more than two.
And I know for sure if the second one would be a c section then that's it, no more

Is this dress yes or a no?

We are going to Japan for 3 weeks in July and 13 of those days we are on a cruise. There is a bunch of formal nights and formal events and for some of them I’m doing a 80’s glam theme. I already got the dresses for those but I’m looking for some fun and fancy dresses that aren’t vintage also. I’ve been eyeing this particular dress for MONTHS. I kind of love it, but I think it might also be too weird 😆. What do you think?
