Testimony Tuesday!

Thank you Nisha for sharing your story and photos with us.

"I had the privilege of welcoming my son on September 8th at Brantford General Hospital, and I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the midwifery team—especially Michael and Melanie.

Their presence throughout my labor and delivery brought me strength, comfort, and reassurance during a time that can feel overwhelming. Michael and Melanie cared for me with such patience, compassion, and professionalism that I truly felt supported every step of the way.

They listened, guided, and comforted me in moments when I needed it the most, and their calm confidence helped me stay grounded throughout my entire birth experience. I am profoundly grateful for the kindness and exceptional care they provided to both me and my baby.

Thank you, Michelle and Melanie, for being a part of such an important chapter in my life. Your dedication and heartfelt support will always be remembered."

"From my initial appointment with Ally and Heather T I knew my experience with the midwives of Brant was going to be amazing. The follow up throughout my entire pregnancy was incredible and I always felt heard in all my appointments. Our little guy was due on March 31 but decided to come March 10th. On the 10th it all happened quite fast. From being admitted to the hospital around 10:30pm (March 9th) to having a baby boy at 12:21am. It was all happening so fast and although the birth didn't go exactly how I had "planned" Aly was very reassuring throughout the whole birth. My birth was very quick and so although I don't feel like I have a long birth story to share I do feel I need to give huge thanks for the before and after care of myself and our baby. After having our baby boy, we were admitted for jaundice 2 days later and I felt so comfortable and safe with the steps the midwife's were taking. They were able to walk me through the whole process of what was going to happen when getting to the hospital and it was very reassuring as a first time mom. Additionally our baby boy got a UTI at 15 days old. I had caught it with a fever in the night and called the emergency number for the midwife's in the morning to see what was next to do. Ally was great at reaching out to the hospital and even giving the paeds on call a heads up for us that we were going to be heading into the ER. This is a scary time when your baby is sick and having Heather and Ally as supports was huge, from there constant check ups while we were in the hospital then to all the support and help before giving birth. I can't recommend the midwives of Brant enough."

"I have been with the midwives of Brant for 3 of my 4 pregnancies! Unfortunately this time around, the midwife who delivered my 2nd and 3rd babies (Teagan) was on maternity leave. It was sad news for me but I ended up with Michelle and Heather P who are equally as fantastic! This was my first time meeting Heather and she was nothing short of amazing. My 4th and final pregnancy ended up being twins, so naturally this had been the scariest pregnancy for me by far. The whole team made me feel nothing but supported throughout the whole pregnancy. When it finally came to delivery day, I had Heather P with me as one of my support people since twin pregnancies require an OB. She arrived a couple hours after we were admitted and never left my side. The whole time she talked me through my contractions, reiterated how amazing I was doing, and overall helped to ensure I had a smooth, peaceful delivery."
