So I have a new client, a wonderful couple - very successful business people in the South African market. Her husband has a baby from a previous relationship, the baby was born under very traumatic circumstances (baby is just perfect though) which ultimately led to the break up of the marriage.
He has subsequently decided that he does not want to be present at the birth - that makes my job even more important, though I need to be flexible should he change his mind on the day of the birth.
She is due in July - gives us a few months to bond. Mom is lovely and quite prepared, she has done much reading, albeit in the wrong places (What to Expect when You're Expecting) and such, though my recommendations have not fallen on deaf ears and she has decided to pursue a birth at Linkwood. The comprimise with her fiance is that she will stick with a gynaecologist who works from Parklane anyway.
I am looking forward to this process once again, and because I have fewer births I feel I will be able to concentrate somewhat better.
Wonderful to be back! :)
