Cheryl provided us with the knowledge and information to make us feel confident and excited for the birth of our baby. We had planned for a calm water birth, but events took an unplanned change of direction! Instead of being stressed about this, with Cheryl's assistance I was able to remain calm and positive - resulting in a birth which although wasn't as planned, was just as wonderful. A few days after the birth I felt disappointed and worried that I had let down my baby by not achieving the birth we had planned for. Cheryl's postnatal care was just as valuable and we talked through the birth. I now realise that this was a ridiculous thought, and whilst things did not go to plan, that our beautiful, healthy baby boy Chester is all we could have wished for and I'm proud of myself. If (hopefully when) we have another baby, I would love for Cheryl to be there again to empower me with the confidence to achieve another amazing birth.
