"The information provided really helped me through labour as I wasn't given alot of information through my midwife during my appointments. It made the labour process alot easier and it was great to have the additional help and support postnatally too. I was signposted in the right direction to get my son diagnosed for his tongue tie which improved feeding.”

“It was my second pregnancy and I wanted to go for a VBAC which isn’t easy with so much self doubt and anxiety but Maryam was at my rescue. She guided me throughout my journey helping me overcome my anxiety and stress of having my baby the way I wanted it to be. Also she helped me in healing after with the stitches and other stuff.”

“I was very lucky to have had Maryam as the attending midwife to my planned caesarean section. Any questions I had, she always had the answers and with so much empathy and knowledge. No question was too silly and I felt totally at ease every step of the way. If I were to have more children I would purposely seek out her advice and expertise x”

"Maryam visited me at home shortly after I gave birth to my daughter. I really appreciated her kindness, reassurance, and practical advice on breastfeeding as I was struggling so much on latching and feeding due to a C-section. She made me feel at ease during a time that can feel and was so overwhelming as a new mum. We also spoke on a few occasions afterwards at social gatherings about my birth experience, and she was always warm, approachable, and genuinely interested in how I was doing. Her professionalism combined with her caring nature really made a positive difference❤️🩹"
