Cambridge Midwives Midwives are ‘absolutely best’

This is in response to a letter in the Times from Sarah Hamel. I am sorry to hear about your experience at Cambridge Memorial Hospital concerning the birth of your son.
I read your letter and I really wanted to tell you that I had an absolutely wonderful experience with my midwife. They a...re absolutely the best. They are there for you and your child 100 per cent. They even care for you for a few weeks after the birth and answer any questions you have. A lot of people think you have to deliver at home, or even naturally. No, you don’t. Yes, some moms do, and I give them all my blessings. However, I didn’t.
I was thinking of having my first daughter at home, but during the contractions we went to the hospital (midwives have full rights at the hospital). The pain was more than I could handle, so I chose to have an epidural. The doctor on call then had to deliver my daughter (he was really good), but handed the baby directly to my midwife and then she took total care.
If you wish, I would be more than happy to answer any of your questions concerning midwives. Just contact the Cambridge Times and they can contact me.
I learned first hand that they are absolutely No. 1 in my book and I am very thankful for everything they did.
I am really glad that they were there for the birth of both my daughters. I really hope you consider going with a midwife for your next child, you won’t regret it.
Thank you again Lisa Morgan, midwife, for everything you did for us. My daughters are now six and three.

A large-scale study finds that Canadian women who delivered at home faced fewer difficulties, and researchers hope it may put to rest any safety concerns surrounding the practice

Thanks for posting this! If only this study had been released 5yrs ago....My first was a Midwife client but was a c-section due to Frank breech. I was devestated, but my Cambridge Midwife totally changed the experience into a pleasant one. Happily I went on to be a successful VBAC again with Cambridge Midwives for my 2nd child.
You do wonderful things, Hopefully this will encourge more Drs to train and Moms to elect to deliver - I know I would have.

Here here, as a newly emigrated ex Uk midwife..currently under the care of the wonderful Cambridge Midwives for my third (surprise) child. we are trained in breech delivery, but the doctors often scaremonger women in to thinking they have no choice. Having had two normal rapid vertex deliveries I would be appalled if I had to be butchered just ... See Morebecause my child had navigational difficulties!!!! A womens body is perfectly designed to birth a child, and she generally does it beautifully whichever way around...with the right care and support. Its about time more women were empowered to believe in their innate abilities.
