Testimonial for Mikki Bell, Student Midwife, CBE, CD
Michaela was amazing!!!! I had a baby seven months ago and it was terrifying with all of the COVID protocols. She was very knowledgable, super calm and made me feel at ease. We also loved that she was being incredibly careful COVID-wise. My first child was out within 6 hours of the first contraction, so I knew this labor had a chance of being faster (but not a guarantee). It was incredibly helpful that she knew where I was coming from since she also had quick labors (casual walks during laboring were not going to help me!).
When the day came, she came over very quickly (she lived super close!)! Thank goodness, because it was a QUICK labor. She helped me with contractions while also getting our toddler to help out (until toddler was picked up by friends) in various ways (get mamma a pillow! massage her back!). COVID made it so that I couldn’t have Mikki at the hospital, but she was ready to FaceTime if we needed her (we ended up not having time!). She went as far as should could with me! She wheeled me in the wheelchair while husband parked and grabbed our bags, she went with me through the front doors, up the elevator and even checked me in! With stops for contractions along the way. My husband joined me a few minutes later, and our son was born literally a couple minutes later. One hour and 45 minutes from my first contraction!
Mikki was SO calm under pressure. She later told me that she was even ready to deliver the baby in the car. I’m SO glad that didn’t happen, but I know we would have been in good hands if it did. We were happy to see her for our postpartum visit and for me, it was nice get a little recap of that fast birth, as it was all a blur to me, and it was therapeutic to hear her version of what happened. Mikki is an awesome caring person, and I would WHOLE HEARTEDLY recommend her!!!
