Emily was recommended to us by a close friend. After the initial meeting with her we knew straight away that we wanted her to be a part of our birth experience. Emily is incredibly knowledgeable and reassuring. Her hands-on approach really made us feel like we were in the best of care and, as Emily put it, have stacked the cards in our favor!
After the 2 prenatal visits we were super prepared. Emily really made sure that every topic was covered and all our questions were answered. She helped me preparing witch hazel pads and demonstrated all labouring positions super patiently! With Emily’s help we reached the hospital fully dilated and it took only 2.5 hours to push our little Ada out! After the birth Emily helped me to start Ada breastfeeding and stayed with us in the hospital to make sure that we settled in comfortably. She only left us when we both felt reassured and secure to care for our little girl.
Emily was an absolute star during the 2 post-natal visits. Ada would not latch on properly and the inability to feed her properly left me an emotional wreck (poor husband!). Emily came over straight away and guided me into feeding Ada better. Again, as a lactation counselor she was so knowledgeable, from hot compresses on tight engorged breasts and ordering the best breast pump to baby massage for releasing gas and holding positions to offer comfort. She helped us with everything and I was so grateful for the instant and effective help. She made sure to check on us two days later. Everything else worked from that moment on. Her last visit was just a nice lunch, chat and bath for baby Ada.
Thanks to Emily we had an amazing birth experience. Everything went exactly how we had wished for and even better! I am forever grateful for Emily’s help, knowledge, reassurance and humour. We made a friend for life and I would highly recommend Emily to give your new baby the best possible start!
