"The birth of our son"

I wanted to express how grateful we are for the care we received and how wonderful our experience was with Lorraine at the birth of our beautiful baby boy.

It was a birth which we weren't quite expecting, having hoped for a very natural hypnobirthing experience. However, I am still delighted with the overall experience. Lorraine was very caring, understanding and helpful. She was easily able to reassure me and my wife that we could do this. Lorraine's personable and assertive manner allowed my wife to find the strength and determination to naturally birth our son, in what was a frightening and challenging set of circumstances.

At no point did I feel left out, misunderstood or overlooked. I also felt very secure that my wife and our little boy would be okay. Even with monitors, consultants and others having to join us in the room, Lorraine made sure everything was explained to us and kept us reassured. This meant the world to me personally, as it can be quite daunting.

Our care from start to finish was fantastic. I cannot fully express how grateful I am. Thank you Lorraine for the amazing difference you made to us both, you were integral in making our experience one we can cherish instead of one which could have been very negative.
