Cheryl is worth her weight in gold and more! After having an emergency C-section with my first pregnancy I was aiming for a VBAC second time round. I wanted to ensure I had the right support this time. I wanted someone who would be knowledgeable, objective, honest, supportive and caring – all of which Cheryl is. Cheryl is and was amazing throughout my pregnancy, birthing and post-natal. She was there every step of the way. Having been a midwife with over 30 years’ experience I knew that her guidance and advice was evidence based, honest and non-judgemental. She took the time to go through my birth notes from my first pregnancy and gave me a level of closure in understanding what happened. She believed in me even when I wasn’t too sure in my own abilities for the second time round. She gave both my husband and myself confidence in labouring and birthing with our goal for a VBAC. She was our buffer and knowing she was there while birthing gave us both peace of mind and made me feel safe. With her support I was able experience the ideal VBAC birth and I cannot express in words how grateful I am to her. She is very well respected among the best in obstetrics and among hospital staff. I would recommend Cheryl to anyone in a heartbeat....her back massage alone while birthing is worth it!!!
