"Pregnancy and birth"

At the time of writing this, I currently have a three week old newborn and want to retell my story. I had the same midwife throughout my whole pregnancy and birth and it was a great experience. This is my third baby and I found it hard the first time with the amount of opinions that were thrown my way. I had numerous midwives, child health nurses and people that gave many unwanted opinions throughout my other pregnancies. I found it very pleasant and helpful to be able to have the same one from start to finish in my final pregnancy. This made my life a lot easier. I also had a very lovely midwife that came to my house for every appointment before and after the baby arrived. This meant less stress for me to get my 2.5 year old to the local hospital. I’d highly recommend being able to experience pregnancy with one trusted midwife. She also did all that was asked throughout my pregnancy and labor. She went beyond to make me feel like my opinions and choices were the right ones and also felt my annoyance at specific situations that other medical professionals made me feel regarding unnecessary appointments, blood tests and twisted words. 

I just want to say a big thank you to my midwife Alora at the Bridgetown hospital! Your efforts did not go unnoticed.
