My husband and I connected immediately with Tara. We suffered a loss with our first pregnancy so we were nervous and scared during our second. Her own experience with loss helped us to connect with her and she always listened when I shared how I was feeling. I ended up being induced, but before we made that decision we called Tara and talked it through. Having her as a sounding board was one of the best parts of having Tara on our birthing team. I had intense back labor but she brought heat pads that were AMAZING! It seemed like she was always 1 step ahead of my labor and knew what would help. Tara was there to support and encourage my husband and me. She let my husband take the lead and when he needed to take a break she would step in. (She even brought a Tim Horton's treat for my husband twice during the labor process.) After our baby was birthed, she didn't leave my side until I was ready. She also helped facilitate family members coming in to the room to meet our new baby, which was so helpful. When we went home she came to visit us and make sure we didn't need anything. She was also available by phone or text and I was sure to contact her several times the first few weeks. As I new mom it was reassuring to know I had someone who I trusted and had been with us through the whole process to answer any questions or concerns. If we have another baby we will be sure to call Tara! I wouldn't want to birth without her!!
