Testimonial

“The reason why I became a Birth Buddy was so that I could give support to mums to be in such an important and special moment in their life. Being a young mum myself I understand how other young mums may feel. Just knowing they are not alone reassures and builds their confidence. I enjoy knowing I am helping others within our community which to me is priceless”.
