Elizabeth
I have had two home births with Sybille Andersen.The first was my daughter Annabel. I had back labor and Sybille must have gone numb from rubbing my lower back for eight hours! After Annabel was born her father made us all breakfast, and I ate as my three year old son held his hour old sister.
Five years later Sybille 'caught' my daughter Ruby after three days of labor. At the end, I was tired and weepy. As I labored backwards on the toilet, I leaned into Sybille's arms and she kept saying, "You are doing so well. You are doing so, so well." I felt very nurtured and safe.
With both births Sybille's presence was very comforting as well as professional and confident. Because we were home, I was the first person to hold my daughters, and mine was the first face they saw.
I had my first child, Jono, in a hospital with a Doula and that was fine, but I was treated like a "patient" and my son's birth like a medical procedure. It was different with the girls. Sybille regards birth as a natural process and the laboring woman as strong, capable and empowered.
