Testimonial for Vanessa Lewis, CPM (Cert Professional Midwife), CBD, PEP

A year ago today Vanessa was with my husband and I as we welcomed our daughter into the world. Through the whole experience, from first meeting her in my first trimester, a week past "due," and into the wonder of our first weeks with a brand new person, Vanessa was essential and no small part of our success. During labor and the first hours with our daughter in our arms, Vanessa supported us and trusted my instincts even when I didn't. Vanessa went above and beyond, no matter if it was when I was first trimester and nervous, when I was due and cranky (cranky is putting it mildly), in labor and suddenly facing complications, and establishing nursing that was rocky to start, but a year later is smooth sailing. With hindsight, there are a few things I wish I had done differently, but having Vanessa with us I wouldn't change for the world.
