Miranda is only ever described as an angel when I share my experience during pregnancy and labour as a first time mum. I found it hard to enjoy my pregnancy due to severe anxiety about labour. I have dealt with fear of labour since a very young age. Miranda had a calming and caring bedside manner, assuring me that my fears and wishes would be heard during labour (assuming no emergencies, etc). Every single visit I had with her she patiently listened to me (I pretty much repeated same story/concerns every visit) and tried to keep me as calm as possible. Even still, I did not completely trust that my fears would be taken seriously by other staff. Fast forward to "labour day", she advocated for me when (as feared) she came up against other doctors/midwives who did not believe I required any special treatment. This was my biggest fear, that when it came time to labour I would be forced to do/experience things that I did not feel I could handle. She promised me she "would not let me down" and she didn't - I will never forget those words. My bub boy is now 8 weeks and we recently went in to visit to say thank you. I can't look at her or even tell my story without crying - all happy tears. I don't think she will ever understand how grateful I am. I can genuinely say I had a wonderful birth experience and have her to thank for it. I recommend Miranda to anyone who will listen.
