Testimonial for Melinda Ferguson
From our first meeting with Melinda I knew she was the calm voice that I wanted with me and my husband as we started our adventure into parenthood. She had so much experience and so many ideas for resources that would be helpful and even more importantly ones that might not be as usefu to me as I found myself attempting to read every book available! I was in a situation where I was working away from home for a couple weeks out of every month while I was pregnant and having Melinda available by phone or email was really comforting. I knew that no matter where I was, she was just a phone call away. I was also nervous about going to the hospital too soon and being there for an extended period before our baby was born. Melinda came over during the day to suggest comfort measures. Her voice of experience allowed us to stay in the comfort of our own home longer than I might have otherwise and she certainly was invaluable supporting my husband and assuring him that there was nothing to worry about as my labor progressed.
Melinda's support also allowed me to better reflect on what my goals were for birth and what choices would be best for our family. I was reviewing our birth plan recently as we consider the possibility of a second child and I have nothing but wonderful memories of our experience with Melinda. If we had not moved to another state I would request her support for our next pregnancy and birth; she really is a partner that will provide you with information, resources, and support for all your decisions throughout your birth process!
