My Midwife Was Wonderful

Midwife Susan Fischels makes you feel heard and she takes your concerns seriously. Each time we met, she wouldn’t just tell me how things would be or prompt me. She’d ask, ‘Alright, do you have any questions? What questions do you have? Let’s talk about it.’ She wanted me to talk, and she held space to listen. I hugged her after I gave birth, and I hugged her when I saw her every six weeks.
