Testimonial for Cheryl Murfin, MA/IAEd, CD
I had Cheryl twice, first with my now 5 year old. That was a hospital birth with an OB, she was amazing! The minute I called she came to my house, took me to the hospital and never left me untill my baby was latched on and I was ok with her leaving, that was about 21 hours of labor and I delivered a healthy 10lb 4oz baby boy with no epidural and no stitches. So naturally when I was pregnant again I called her, not only for her service but for a recomendation for a birthing center, I wanted a midwife this time. She recommended one and I went there and they were just as amazing as her, plus they knew her well. When my second birth occured it was much harder than the first, I was like an extra appendage, attached to Cheryl the whole time. She had to briefly leave to check on another mom in labor and my labor stalled untill the minute she walked back in. She talked me through the rough spots when I gave up, she kept going and truly was a part of me at that birth. When I was in the tub she sat in a horrible position on the ledge behind me, when I would push I would grab her poor arms sooo tight and pull. I almost pulled her in on top of me, and through it all she stayed positive helpfull and supportive. I would not have acheived my water birth with my second son without her. Thank You Cheryl. I am so inspired by her that I am now apprenticing with her and applying to Midwifery school. =)
