“I know I certainly couldn’t have gotten through Cub’s birth without [Rhiannon] being there, particularly as it was so quick and she arrived before my midwives. The more births I have, the more I see the power of support and having some advocating for your health and well-being.” - Frannie from Frannie & Co
My labour and delivery was so fast by the time we got to the hospital, Rhiannon made it into the room and the baby was out in an hour and 12 minutes. But that hour was the most intense thing ever… but because we had 2 prenatal visits and really talked in depth about what I wanted as comfort when the time came. Gentle touch, aromatherapy, words of affirmation, she led it all. And if something wasn’t working, she would direct Bryce to try something else. It was amazing to 100% completely trust that she was there to support me and I felt so so supported. - Aminah from Unapparenthood
[Rhiannon] was integral in my postpartum planning, because honestly without her I wouldn’t have planned much! She asked lots of great specific questions about what makes me feel safe and supported, who I might want to visit right away and who should hold off a couple of weeks… She also walked me through the need to ask for help and say no, two huge lessons in motherhood, and she even suggested making a list of ways that friends can help out if they come over for a visit and ask for a task! She really gave me the confidence I needed to recognize and ask for what I needed. - Alyssa from Random Acts of Pastel
