Wendy Rakestraw, CNM

Wendy delivered my son and made me feel so comfortable with labor and delivery. She listened to my needs and allowed me to have accommodations that made it easier for me to give birth. She has been and continues to be highly recommended by my family.

I will refuse any future treatment from Wendy, she is not getting near me when I have my baby. My husband and I saw her yesterday for the first time and all that got accomplished is that she made me feel HORRIBLE about my life. She didn’t care about any of my concerns just told me that “that’s pregnancy, you should just stop working now.” Others have told me I could schedule induction near my due date(next week) because of the fact I don’t get much time off work(unfortunately I have bills to pay and a family to support) Wendy on the other hand clearly doesn’t believe in that and said if the baby wants to come out 3 weeks late it should, she would not support helping him come sooner and that I’m a weak woman and I’m just going to have to take more time off work then started questioning where I work and that she won’t give me a note saying I can return etc (thank god I don’t need permission to return.) I have cried all day since, all I want is as much time with my baby as I can get.
