As first time parents we were totally in the dark as to what to expect from pregnancy and child birth.  I was going to have a hospital birth, but after all the information provided and lots of discussions we have opted for a home birth.  My husband and I are really excited and looking forward to the birth, and feel fully informed and confident with any decisions we need to make. 

Nanette was never in a rush with our appointments, and was always kind and professional.

I was pregnant with my second baby when I meet Nanette & she informed us of her antenatal classes.  We loved the idea of having flexible appointment times so my partner could be involved.  We had evening appointments, with no hassle of having to find child care for our two year old who slept peacefully upstairs.  The reason for going on the antenatal course was to gain more of an understanding of pain relief, and to give me more confidence in myself with giving birth.  I had felt very scared last time, and out of control.  I hoped this time I would have a greater understanding of what was happening to my body and my baby.  Breast feeding is really important to me, and was something I struggled with first time around, Nanette took time to explore the possible reasons and offered support in making it a success.  Along the way Nanette provided articles and DVD’s covering different births.  We loved the fact that Nanette is a qualified midwife; she is passionate and enthusiastic about her job.  I feel a lot happier at the thought of giving birth.
Who knows I may book you as my independent midwife for baby number 3!
Thank you
