Testimony Tuesday!
Thank you Kaitlin for sharing your story and photos with us
"My first story is a little crazy, my midwives Melanie and Heather P were both in births when I went into labour as well as my backup Midwife Tanya, so I had Maryellen and the student at the time at my birth, and my active labour went so fast that as I was starting to crown, Mary Ellen went to call a nurse to help and I ended up pushing Theo out with one push and being able to catch him, myself! With it being my first baby, I was nervous having a Midwife I hadn’t even met, but Mary Ellen was so kind and caring, it it was like like I got to work with the whole Midwives Of Brantford, it truly is like a family! And then my second birth a year and a half later with Bennett, I had an OB because I had gestational diabetes, but I was still in the care of the midwives, and I was so grateful that they were able to help me advocate for what I wanted and truly be my support throughout both pregnancies and postpartums. I truly wouldn’t have been able to do it without them!"
