What Our Clients Are Saying

Working with Alyssa and Lauren was truly the best experience! I was pregnant with my third child and have worked with other midwives previously. They made me feel heard, supported and cared for. Alyssa took the time to discuss all our decisions with every prenatal visit. When it came to labor, they were super responsive and involved in every stage. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else by my side when I brought my daughter into this world. They made the experience so great I only have fond memories of pregnancy, labor and delivery of my third child! I highly recommend these ladies for anyone interested in a home birth!

I am forever grateful for Lauren Stum/team Upper Cumberland Midwifery Services for her midwifery care. She is an absolute dream and has given me/baby so much time and love throughout this entire process. I wish every mother could experience this as well and honestly, all pre/postnatal need this kind of care. It’s amazing the body’s ability to do what it was created to do especially with no interferences and Lauren supported every wish I had. You served our family with so much love. We are so very thankful for you!

I highly, highly recommend Pea in a Pod Midwifery! I cannot possibly begin to describe how incredible Lauren is. The care I received from her was absolutely above and beyond. With her support and knowledge, I was able to have the healthiest pregnancy I’ve ever had. I only wish I had her for my two pregnancies before! It was such an overall fantastic experience, I borderline want to have a 4th. Thank you so much! You are truly a gem, Lauren
