Testimonials
We are pleased to share these messages of thanks from our women.
If only everyone could have you as their midwives the world would be a happier place! You rock!!!!
I Just wanted to say you are amazing midwives and friends - I cannot even express how much I valued your input into my pregnancy and how much I appreciate your caring attitude and late night facebook chats! Because of you guys my pregnancy was so relaxed and even though it was a tough birth i enjoyed sharing it with you. I can honestly say that I trusted you with my life and am convinced that due to your expertise and calm brilliance I had the birth I did and not the birth I would have had if I had been in hospital or with less experienced midwives. I am sure Sebastian and his shoulders will always remember you with fond memories too!!

 "I do really appreciate you all so much - you really helped me have
 a birth I never would have had otherwise the best experience it
 could've been. It was due to you I had a home birth at all, and now I'm
 running a support group. Who would've thought it?!"
I really wanted to thank you ALL for giving me my perfect birth. Your complete support of my wishes, and Amazon resolve in the face of some pretty crap odds (GDM, VBAC) enabled me to birth my baby in an almost fairytale way - I think what I'm really thanking you for is not so much the the positive experience of the birth itself (which was, of course, wonderful) - its more that I can finally lay the ghosts of my first awful birth to rest. This morning, I had my family around me, and it felt so whole, and I really felt for the first time that I could stop worrying about how my first child  managed to get into the world, and just enjoy the fact that she did. Thank you so much again - I still can't quite believe that I birthed my baby naturally (and then kicked up a fuss about how much the afterpains hurt!! - there's no pleasing some people...) Anyway - hope you're all finally getting the rest you deserve - I managed a couple of hours sleep in the afternoon, then had a very excitable toddler jumping all over me wanting to get to know her baby brother a bit better. Take care, and see you all soon!
"I have to try and put into words how grateful we both are for your help and care both in pregnancy, during the birth and then afterwards. Your calming words and reassurance gave me so much encouragement and motivation to keep going and even though we ended up in hospital I wouldn't change a thing, except perhaps for baby's position! We all hope we can call on the Essex Midwifery Practice services again next time! Jenny, you are an excellent midwife with all the right characteristics to support women and their families, I hope all your clients appreciate what you do. Anyway, I think its very important that praise is given when its due, especially in our profession where its often over looked. I hope you continue to enjoy what you do as much as it seems you do!. Much love and kisses from baby........"
"We wanted to say a huge thank-you to you for being so fantastic during the birth of Harry and afterwards. You were so supportive and reassuring and I honestly don't know what we would have done without you there. We really do feel you went above and beyond the call of duty and can't thank you enough. And I'll always remember the toast you made. I think it is the best I've ever tasted! Thank you as well for all your support afterwards with the feeding and with the stitches...........Thank you so much again, you really are amazing."
"Just wanted to say a massive Thank-you to you all for all your help and support over the last nine months. We have all felt very lucky to have such supportive, kind and knowledgeable midwives. When number two is on the way (in a few years yet!) I will be straight on the phone booking you in. I will really miss your visits now, but I would be more than happy to talk to any new clients to sing your praises. Thank you again............ we are absolutely over the moon with our gorgeous daughter"
A huge thank you for your help and friendship through our journey to parenthood. You have made it an incredible experience and you make a wonderful team!
I just wanted to let you know how incredible this experience has been for me. It is difficult to put into words how important you have been in my decision to face my fear and have a homebirth. I could not wished for a better birth experience! I still cant believe how beautiful and empowering it was. Thank you so much for your calm energy, sense of humour and understanding. I will never forget this journey and the positive energy I now feel!
For us, the most significant part of our experience with you was your presence at Connies birth. We cannot thank you enough for your support that day. Just having you there with the benefit of your experience and professionalism made a huge difference!
Thank you Rachel for your amazing care and support and knowledge throughout my pregnancy. We have both appreciated the 100% support of all the decisions we've made and the lovely manner in which any advice has been given to us. I have had a fantastic time with you, Jenny and Vicky - and if I do????? have a number 3 - I hope I can book with you three again!
