Within minutes of meeting Cheryl at our initial interview I knew she would be the perfect person to guide my husband and I through our first birth experience. As a first time mom, I was very anxious about giving birth and had no idea what to expect. I was very intent on the idea of going naturally and had many fears that I wouldn't be able to handle the pain. Cheryl spent a lot of time with us before my labor began, which helped to reduce my anxiety. By the time I had my first real contraction I felt very comfortable and safe with Cheryl. My labor ended up being a very quick one (about 10 hours from start to finish!), and I was able to do it without medication as planned. I have no doubt it would have been much harder, and probably longer, without her support. I would rate our experience with Cheryl a 10+! We look forward to inviting her to attend our next birth.
