Anne is calm and confident. I knew that if my anxiety crept in, her calmness would be what I needed. I knew that if I started to feel like I was losing control or started doubting myself, she would give me confidence. I knew I could rely on her to see beyond policy and procedure so she could ensure I had all the information, risks, benefits and alternatives to make fully informed choices that were right for me and my baby. She was able to pick up what my triggers were so she could step in to support me. She was not only understanding of my wishes, but was able to adapt and support them as my birth plans and environment changed. I loved having her to be a part of my daughter’s birth.
