These ladies mean so much to me! I’m so grateful to have had them on my team with both my babies, and to have even been caught by one of them myself as I entered the world. They were with me throughout my pregnancy with my firstborn, up to the transition of planning a home birth to a hospital induction, and praying with me and supporting me when the decision for a Cesarean was made. Then with my second, they wanted that HBAC as much as I did, and worked extremely hard with me to make that happen safely and beautifully in Tennessee. Alabama and Tennessee cannot possibly deserve these amazing women, but I’m so glad we have them!

I can’t say enough good things about the ladies of Alternative Birth Choices. I have had several births with them, and they have truly gone above and beyond every single time. They are genuine, intelligent, a wealth of knowledge and experience, and they truly care for each member of your family. They make decisions and give advice with only your best in mind. I wholeheartedly recommend these midwives. You will be in wonderful hands!

“Highly recommend these wonderful ladies!! Four weeks ago I was able to get the beautiful and peaceful home birth I hoped for. They were wonderful during my pregnancy and took time to spend with my family and I and answered any and all questions I had. When it came to me to deliver they were at my house quickly and made sure I was comfortable and were encouraging which helped me feel confident. They are very knowledgeable and took such good care of my new baby and myself. My older kids really enjoyed watching the newborn tests and weight of the baby and the midwives answered all of the questions they had. It was truly a wonderful experience that I hope every women gets to have. Thank you again ladies for taking such good care of us!”

My midwives were so helpful and supportive during my long labor and eventual hospital transfer. We were so thankful to have these skilled women by our side through it all.

It was the most surreal experience, and I am SO, SO thankful I was able to have it in our home. Labor had its challenging moments, yet it was simultaneously serene and peaceful. Having such a strong, capable team of midwives brought confidence and security that we were both in excellent hands! I didn’t have a single worry and I am so grateful to these women for making one of my greatest dreams possible!

I am so grateful that my friend recommend Karen Brock as a midwife. I felt very supported throughout my pregnancy and comfortable asking questions! The night Eliora was born I was so glad to have them there. My mind was at ease knowing they were right there to help. It’s obvious they know what they are doing. I will definitely be using them for my next pregnancy and I highly recommend them to my friends.

Every year on her birthday I think about you. She turned 18 today and is a senior in high school. I just wanted to share one of her senior pictures. I hope you and your family are all doing well. I think of you often and am so thankful for the birth experiences I had with you. They will both always hold special memories in my mind.

Karen and her amazing team brought our sweet Emmie Joy into the world in 2019. I was so excited to be blessed with a Home birth in our North Alabama home. It was a fairly normal labor but as soon as our daughter was born, I had to be transported to the hospital for extra after care. Karen never left my side. It meant so much to me to know I was in wonderful and caring hands.
Anna
I had wonderful, empowering water births with Karen and Wetawnya in 2012 and 2016. The respectful, genuine care I received from them through pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum was unparalleled to my first (hospital) birth experience in 2003. I love and appreciate them more than they know!
Bethany
Loved our home birth and the care we received from our midwives!
Heather
All our jewels, from the first to the last, with one more on they way, have been birthed into the hands of these ladies! The experience is a JOY!
The DiNardo Family
Through a marathon of labor, the Alternative Birth midwives stayed with us through it all until Jason Luken finally arrived 9.11.18. All this first-time mamma needed was time.

Our sweet girl being introduced to her brother after welcoming our little man to the world from the comfort of our home. My wife and I simply can’t imagine doing it any other way. What an incredible experience and pleasure to work with you all! From the level care, expertise, and personal touch of our well visits and the ease of our delivery (perhaps that is best spoke on by my wife.. after delivering a 10lb baby boy in 4 hours), and the continued connection and follow up in days and weeks ahead. It has been such a pleasure to work with y’all and know you. I will refer anyone that asks to you all. Continued blessings and thanks for serving our communities and families as you all do.
