I look back on it with awe and great pride. Throughout pregnancy, birthing and postpartum care, I felt safe, supported and powerful. I feel that my positive experience was largely by virtue of my midwife, Cecil Tamang. My labour was long and didn’t progress in textbook stages. Cecil was willing to stay with me for the duration. Her presence was supportive but entirely non-intrusive. She let me follow my own instinct and find my own rhythm. She allowed me to take full ownership of my birthing. For this, I cannot thank her enough. I learned a lot about Cecil during those months. She is wise beyond her years. She is deeply respectful of the mystery and power of birth. She is compassionate, sensitive, and nurturing. She knows just what to say and just when to say it. She is dependable, discreet, and flexible. She has a great sense of humour. Cecil is confident, highly intelligent, and knowledgeable in her profession. She is dedicated and passionate about birth as a normal, natural process. She communicates clearly and has the gift of listening. She acknowledges ones hopes and fears surrounding the birth. If complications arise, she remains level-headed and takes appropriate action. She works collaboratively with the whole family and builds an atmosphere of confidence, comfort and trust. She treats the new little being with reverence. She is calm, oh so calm. If you are setting out on the path of pregnancy and are looking to be led by a midwife, you may want to look elsewhere; but if you want a more empowering and transformative experience, if you want to find and walk your own path, Cecil will be there when you need her, just beside you, with a clear head, a steady hand, and an open heart.
