She guided us toward helpful resources in preparation for our son's arrival, saw to each visit with great attention to our needs, answered every question we had, and successfully eased our minds when we had anxiety. While our regular visits were wonderful and reassuring, it was the birth of our son and Ann's postpartum attention that really confirmed we had made a good choice when selecting her. There were complications that would have likely driven a hospital birth team toward interventions, but Ann knew exactly how to work to move me through them and to successfully deliver my 8lb13oz baby totally naturally, safely, and confidently. She saw to it that we were doing well in the days and weeks that followed, making house visits as needed and inviting us to call her for anything we needed. She will forever be a part of our memories, and we are lucky to have found her to assist us through what ended up being a very positive experience. As a mother of three, I can confidently say that Ann Tive helped me to create my ideal labor and delivery and that I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with her *just once more* in the future. If you are considering using a midwife and appreciate calm, level-headed guidance over a forceful or overly medical direction, it's worth your time to interview her and see if she would work for you!
