I have now welcomed Katrina to both of my deliveries. Both experiences were very different – one a traditional hospital birth the other a home birth with breech presentation. The first time around her support was very hands on and physical. She helped reposition my daughter to get labor progressing. At my son’s birth there wasn’t much time for hands on. Her support was in the form of her knowledge and experience. When our midwife was not supportive of our birth plan, she used her connections to put us in touch with a home birth midwife in our community.
Katrina patiently answered all my questions and her support was invaluable. Should we choose to grow our family again in the future, I will absolutely be reaching out to her.
