It was truly wonderful to have Anna at my son's birth and I could not imagine going through the experience without her. My husband tells everyone he talks to that Anna is worth her weight in gold and that it was like having a doctor in the room with us the whole time. Anna came to the birth at 10am and didn't leave until well after the birth around 2am the next morning. She was present and engaged for the whole process, suggesting positions, offering support, relaying stories of past births that were similar, and guiding when I felt unsure. Her guidance was always open ended and non-judgemental of where we were at.
My personal experience is more emotional than practical. Anna was the angel that watched over me as I became a mother. She made me feel safe and protected during the challenging moments, and made me feel glowy and focused during the beautiful moments. She took amazing pictures, which I thought I wouldn't want to see, but I now cherish how miraculous and incredible my body performed exactly as it needed to. She helped our family grow by providing all of the water and sunshine we needed. I will always feel connected to her for that and will always remember how she made me feel, powerful and capable and loved.
