Capital Midwifery

Rebekah provided us with the highest level of care possible for the home birth of our third baby (first home birth). She is compassionate, knowledgable, and intuitive. Every visit was focused on our baby (and my) well being, both emotional and physical. I have never felt so cared for as a person as I did during my prenatal and antenatal care with Rebekah and Pauline.
I learned a great deal from our prenatal visits that went above and beyond the standard doctor visits I received during my first two pregnancies. With my other pregnancies, prenatal visits with my doctor/​NP consisted of a urine test, weight and bp check, and a few minutes with a doctor to check in. Rebekah performed all prenatal testing and checkups with such care I honestly felt pampered each visit! In addition to the checks, we discussed concerns, nutrition, hopes, expectations, natural remedies for pregnancy discomforts, and more.
The difference in our homebirth and hospital births is night and day. Both my husband and I were so comfortable during my labor and delivery, everything felt just right being home and in our «nest». It was an empowering and beautiful experience. I am forever thankful for the experience Rebekah and Pauline gave us and will always be able to reflect on my homebirth experience with gratitude.

It was extremely helpful to have Rebekah’s support before, during and after my son’s home birth. She provided just the right amount of guidance during labor –empowering without overshadowing the process– and invaluable support postpartum, including breastfeeding-​related complications. I am grateful I had the opportunity to work with her, and I highly recommend her to mothers-​to-​be in the Sacramento area.

I’ll forever be grateful for the care and education I received from Rebekah Lake at Capital Midwifery. At around 5 months pregnant, my husband and I decided we wanted to have a home birth and made the switch from my obstetrician to Rebekah Lake. From the first time we met her, we felt comfortable and had instant trust that she would make our journey into parenthood safe and amazing. The prenatal care I had with Rebekah was so different from the care I received in my OB’s office — in a great way. Each appointment with Rebekah was at least an hour, full of information and emotional support. Ultimately, I ended up needing to schedule a cesarean because my baby was in a transverse position. Rebekah recognized this well ahead of time and helped me make the decision to transfer my care back to my original obstetrician. The process was very smooth. Rebekah was able to recognize the safest option for my birth. Although I didn’t have the home birth I had imagined I would, I received the most amazing prenatal care and felt completely educated and empowered. I highly recommend Rebekah Lake and her team at Capital Midwifery!

I had a wonderful experience with Rebekah Lake at Capital Midwifery. She was so attentive and nurturing, she met all of our needs through our 9 months of pregnancy with our daughter. She was there day and night for us. Very detailed orriented and extremely knowlageable. I was so comforted through our home birth experience! I would highly recommend her!

I cannot say enough about the intuitive, skilled, and kind professionals at Capital Midwifery! I was overjoyed to have been attended at home by Rebekah for the perfect, normal birth of my daughter. I gave birth to my 8 lb. baby in 8 hours and never once felt afraid because Rebekah helped me have confidence in the process, my body and my baby. I am eternally grateful that Victoria Rose was born into my home, surrounded by tranquillity, love and trust.

I came across Capital Midwifery just in time to make the transition for prenatal care and I gave up on my dream of a home birth. We first started planning for a hospital birth but at 35 weeks I was able to get my husband on board for our home birth! Rebekah and her amazing team are so loving, real and knowledgeable! Best decision we could have made and we now have a beautiful baby girl in addition to our son, completing our family of four!

I highly recommend this midwife group. Rebekah Lake came to our house to help with an IUI. She was supportive, knowledgeable, and kind. She focused on educating us about the process and was very nurturing and attuned to our needs. I also appreciated her willingness to come on a Saturday night with not a lot of advanced notice. Although so far I’ve only used her services on one occasion, she was awesome and I would definitely hire her again.
