I gave birth to my first son at Sunrise hospital when I was 17 years old and single. I showed up at the hospital dilated to six at 9:00 am and my doctor didn't show up for my son's delivery at 10:52 am (He was playing golf.) They took my son away from me to put him in a warmer and didn't let me breast feed him for several hours. Being alone with no emotional support and many other little things like rude nurses, made my experience was so terrible that I never wanted to give birth in a hospital again. So, when I found myself pregnant for a second time at age 22 I began searching for an alternative.

Kellie was recommended to me after attending Cheryl Pritchett's grand daughter's birth.  (I believe Lydi had also been Cheryl's midwife years ago.)

Kellie traveled all the way to Pahrump, where I live, several times: for prenatal care and for my son's birth on January 3, 2003. Kellie arrived at my house at 5:00 am to induce my labor naturally (since my son was 2 weeks late) and Kellie helped my labor progress so that my son's birth was swift. My son Larky White III was born at 12:45 pm. He was a healthy, 9 and 1/2 lbs. It was so nice to be at home where I was comfortable and where I knew I was loved!

The major difference between Kellie and an OBGYN is that Kellie really cares. My Husband and I were blessed to have found Kellie and now our son 2 years old.

Thank you Kellie for helping us bring him into this world!
