Has a midwife (or MCHN) ever made you cry?
Not all midwives are created equal. I’ve had some amazing midwives throughout my three pregnancies, labours and recoveries. And I’ve had some shockers.Some will stay with me forever and not in a fond way.

Help me choose a name
The name you give your child has a huge impact on how he or she is perceived by others. It has to suit a baby, a child and an adult and it has to have initials that don’t spell anything weird.
