How have you found it? I'm really loving it (have only had 2 appointments so far) I find DH and I leave there feeling so excited about everything and really looking forward to the birth.
Did you do their classes? The birth and labour, breastfeeding, etc?

I'm loving it as well! DP & I leave feeling exactly the same, especially after our last appointment (it was our 3rd one). I love that they're very much willing to work with what you want for labour/birth.

I've done two classes so far, the breastfeeding & parenting ones. I have my labour class on Monday (I dont know why I made them so late lol). I found I already new a lot of the information they gave, but it was great as they were very open to questions no matter how silly I thought they were. In our parenting class they had a couple with their first newborn come in and give their experience of birthing at the hossy and then the transition to going home and what they had happen that they did or did not expect. And they were open to all sorts of questions which was great.

They make me feel really excited about the birth and going home. I like that they are there to support you in your own home. Makes the thought of going home less scary lol.
