My husband and I met with Afshan several weeks before our delivery. From the moment she said hello, we knew we were in the Best hands. My pregnancy had some complications (two vessel cord and the baby had a heart defect), so needless to say, we were extremely nervous about how the delivery would go. Afshan took all of our worries into consideration as well as all of our goals to make this the best birth experience. Afshan was always available by phone and willing to give me any advice and pointers on how to be more comfortable towards the end of my pregnancy. She continued to follow up with my doctor appointments to see my progression.
The day that my contractions started, Afshan had already been a part of two births. She still came to my bedside with all of the aromatherapy we had spoken about and immediately jumped in to help me through my labor. She helped keep my husband calm as well as guide me through my fears. My goal was to have a non medicated birth and because of her I was able to do that. When I didn’t think I could anymore, she helped me find strength. We cannot put into words the gratitude and love that we feel for Afshan. I will never forget her loving support.
