Rowan’s Birth Story
Susanna arrived and checked me and we were delighted to find that I was 9 cm dilated and it was almost time to push! She said to my mom "you're going to be here for the birth" my mom asked if I wanted her to stay and I said yes, I needed her. I got in the tub and the water was still pretty cold but not so bad considering it was July and it was heating up outside.

Cosgrove’s Birth
Susanna came every day for the next week for my postpartum care. And continued to visit for weeks to come. She went over and beyond for us with her postpartum care. She was there for me answering any questions and concerns that I had. When I felt alone or fearful, she was there for me. I felt, and still feel, that I can go to her for anything, getting her full attention when I need it most. I truly feel that my birth went as smoothly as it did due to her care. She is so dedicated to her field. In my eyes, she is like the salt of the earth. I feel that I not only have a wonderful midwife but now beautiful friend in my life. I could not thank her enough.
