We are so thankful we chose Pam to be our midwife for our son’s birth! I always looked forward to our prenatal visits — she made me feel completely calm and confident in the process of labor and birth as I prepared myself for it. She didn’t hesitate to be honest with me about areas in which I needed to be challenged, yet I always felt the confidence she had in me to know and do what was best for my baby, both before birth and after. During our prenatal visits, I felt more like I was spending time with a wise and experienced friend rather than an emotionally-distant medical professional, and having had the chance to develop this trusting relationship allowed me to feel all the more safe and confident under her care while I was in labor. The precious memory of our son’s birth is all the sweeter thanks to her presence there! Thanks, Pam! CS
