I had great prenatal and postnatal care at AquaNatal, thanks to student midwife Lynn (who is no longer with AquaNatal). However, my labor was badly mismanaged - Joyce had me pushing for a total of 8 hours (once for 2 hours and then later for 6 hours) without being fully dilated. I ended up transferring to the hospital due to exhaustion.
My husband and I had to take AquaNatal to small claims court because they received a $5300 reimbursement from our insurance company and only gave us a partial refund of $2300. We won our case because no one from AquaNatal bothered to show up to court. There are other families who AquaNatal has stolen money from as well. Please see AquaNatal's Yelp page and please choose another birth center and midwife for your pregnancy and birth. Joyce Thomas is not a good or honest midwife.
