So if you're pregnant in Wellington and would like another support person let me know. I'm experienced, knowledgeable and caring.
Experience:
- Support person for one home and one hospital birth.
- Laboured for many hours and gave birth to twins via caesarian (my birth story is here).
- Attended BirthWise antenatal classes (twice!)
- Read avidly about pregnancy and birth while pregnant.
- I believe that the role of a support person is to do whatever you choose in a respectful, steadfast and friendly way.
- Labour and birth are one of the most intimate, physical, mental and spiritual things that we can experience.
- Natural birth is the aim but a healthy mother and baby are far more important.

People, Ruth is a great support person, she would help. She helped me do most of these things.
Ruth, you should tell this desire to the current Birthwise classes and the Dominoes.
Unfortunately at this stage in my life I can only daydream about babies, and gush over the ones that belong to other people. But I bet you'd be a great support person...
I've just noticed that the only blogs I read regularly these days are the blogs of parents with young children. Yikes. Is it my age, or the pills I have to take that alter my hormones?
