We hired Hannah to support us with the birth of our second baby and honestly think it was one of the best decisions we made during the pregnancy. Hannah helped us process our more traumatic first birth experience and prep for the birth we wanted this time. She was there with excellent advice when we had to navigate talk of a “small baby” and when I went “overdue”. We also took Hannah’s antenatal class as part of our doula package and it was so informative. We previously did NCT courses for our first baby and Hannah’s classes were definitely better in our opinion! Hannah was amazing during the birth, in the end having to support us both while also catching the baby as the midwives didn’t arrive in time. And she just materialised a plate of buttered toast post birth as well! She was so calm and reassuring and knowledgeable throughout the entire process of pregnancy to birth…we couldn’t have asked for better support. Having Hannah on our birth team meant we were able to have the healing home birth of our dreams. Cannot recommend Hannah enough! She’s equally amazing as a support for birth partners, and both my husband and I felt so listened to and seen. Thank you Hannah!!
My partner and I were so glad we had Hannah to support us throughout pregnancy and birth! After having a complicated pregnancy, Hannah went out of her way to find out as much information as possible to help us make more informed decisions and was there to support whenever we needed her.
She made us feel as though we could have more control over the birth, rather than being told what to do and this overall lead to a more positive birth experience than I thought I was going to have. The resources and education Hannah gave us were vital and the information is something I think everyone needs before giving birth, so you can make the right decisions for yourself and baby.
My partner and I couldn’t have done the pregnancy and birth without Hannah!
It also just gave me the opportunity to step away for a couple of minutes for a comfort break or to update family knowing that my wife wouldn’t be alone, and she could make sure that I was eating too.
Hannah was by our side throughout the whole process all the way into theatre. Having extra antenatal support especially in the first 2-3 days when we were completely confused and wiped out. I honestly don’t think we could have had a truly positive birth experience with all the twists and turns it it hadn’t been for Hannah. The healthcare professionals were all lovely of course, but it felt very overwhelming and Hannah was like our lawyer helping us navigate the system.
We are incredibly grateful to Hannah for her support during the final stages of our pregnancy. When we were faced with conflicting information from doctors and midwives, Hannah’s expertise and unbiased advice were invaluable. She helped us navigate through the confusion and made sure we understood all aspects of our situation, allowing us to make the best decision for us.
What truly sets Hannah apart is her dedication and passion. She took the time, even late in the evening, to ensure we were fully informed and comfortable with our choices.
Her compassionate approach and deep knowledge provided us with the clarity we needed during a challenging time. We cannot thank her enough for the peace of mind she brought to us. Highly recommended!
