When we met Christa for the first time I could have signed the contract right then & there. She took the time to get to know us, like really get to know us & our story. She wasn’t turned off by the fact that I knew nothing, was terrified & thought the idea of giving birth was kind of weird & frankly gross.
Throughout our time together Christa met us where we were at, helping us learn what we needed to learn to be prepared. She went at our pace so that we were comfortable. By the time we were at the end of the pregnancy I felt so ready & empowered to give birth. Christa was an incredible support & answered all our questions throughout the pregnancy.
During L&D Christa was a great support for my husband, making sure he was taken care of while at the same time being a superhero for me. When I think back to my L&D I feel empowered. I know that I have positive feelings from my L&D because of the support & environment that Christa created for us. She got to know us so well that she not only knew what to say but how to say it.
We brought our son home at the beginning of the pandemic, so while we did not get the in person support post-partum from Christa we were well supported through phone calls and texts. She stayed in touch with us & was available for questions and concerns.
Christa was an integral part of our team, we are from Olds & delivered with the midwives in Red Deer. Having Christa close by & then come to Red Deer with us for our delivery gave us great confidence in our choice to travel to Red Deer for our sons birth. She was able to guide us through the early stags of labor & then continue that suppport right through to bringing our son back home to Olds.
My husband & I keep saying there is no way we can have another baby without Christa apart of our team. I highly recommend any expectant moms to get Christa on your team.
