When I found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks, sister Jenni was one of the first people I told. Asking her to come along with me on this journey wasn’t even as second thought.

My whole pregnancy went well. She supported me through every step was always there for me when I needed advice or just a little reassuring.

When it got closer to the end, and I just wanted it over she encouraged me to be patient and that it would be worth the wait.

The day my water broke she guided me every step of the way, and from the moment we arrived at her birth unit, she was 100% focused on me and my progress. Doing everything I needed to keep my labour progressing steadily. The amount of affirmations, encouraging words, love and support we experienced was beyond measure.

Throughout my entire birthing experience, I felt in control, sister Jenni did her best to give me my water birth experience even though I decided against it at the last minute. I have never had a birthing experience like this, and I am glad that I was able to get everything I wanted with sister Jenni with my last pregnancy. Also thank you to sister Davida for all your support and for taking such beautiful pictures that I would treasure always.

Oh, and the food was amazing! Thank you. I would recommend sister Jenni to anyone!!!

14 years ago, I went through a traumatic birth that not only ended in an emergency c-section that took months to recover from but also left me unable to breastfeed my baby. I never thought I would have another child but 14 years later we found out we were pregnant again. I knew this was a second chance for me to have a natural birth but every doctor I went to told me that my only option was c-section again. Almost giving up and accepting this fate by chance I got a referral to Sister Jenny a blessed angel that didn’t hesitate in assuring me that I was 100% built for natural birth my heart was filled with happiness. She even put me in touch with another v-bac patient who gave me wonderful words of encouragement. Not only did Jenny fully support my choice for natural birth but also encouraged me to keep up with all my sports even though so many discouraged me.

After everyone telling me I was crazy, I did the 5-day Otter Trail hike at the start of my second trimester with Jenny’s approval I got to share this beautiful experience with my unborn child. By the end of my pregnancy things were not progressing fast enough for me but Jenny would always give me positive words of encouragement stay patient she would say baby will come when she’s good and ready…

We were a week over our due date we came in for our appointment with Jenny and with her magic fingers did a cervix sweep gave me and my hubby some exercises to do at home and sent us on our way, she continued to check on me throughout the day like she somehow knew😉 and by 18:30 We were in labour she advised me to take 2 Panados and a warm bath and call her when the contractions were close. By 22:00 we arrived at Jenny I was already out of it she helped me get comfortable and helped my very worried confused husband to settle so he could help me Snr Davida arrived a short while later both these angels made sure that mommy and daddy were always comfortable and had everything we needed.

I came to the last stretch and suddenly I just couldn’t anymore I was ready to give up moaning terribly Jenny sternly told me to keep calm and take control I had this I was built for it she then let me feel my babies head I was that close it was all I needed I closed my eyes and with a few more ridiculous moans, some choice words & hard pushes I heard my baby it was the most overwhelmingly beautiful  thing I have ever experienced.

No words could be thanks enough for what they did for my family any woman would be truly blessed to have these angels by their side.

I am a proud V-BAC mommy, and I would do it again in a heartbeat with Jenny by my side. 🌸

I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude toward Jenni & Davida.

Once found out I was going to become a mom I was terrified. Besides the responsibility and reality of becoming a mommy…I was really petrified of giving birth. For me, natural birth was the obvious choice, even though I did have an epidural in mind.

After doing our research at hospitals & getting quotes, we weren’t quite comfortable with private hospitals…. besides birth being extremely expensive natural or c-section, not every mommy has a great experience – be it from bad service, nurses or Doctors not paying attention, and list the goes on…. I wasn’t comfortable with a state hospital for similar reasons mentioned above.

I started looking at midwives as I’ve heard mostly only positive feedback and came across Jenni. I wasn’t sure at first if this would be a suitable fit …but once I had my first appointment with Jenni I felt comfortable and at peace. I could see Jenni was a pro at her job and also so gentle and informative from the get go.

We immediately knew this is it!

Jenni has been such a blessing and gave me SO MUCH peace of mind during my pregnancy. Always responding, providing GREAT material to help first-time mommies understand better what they are getting themselves into and how to approach it, from pregnancy, pre-labor, labor to birth, and beyond.

My birth experience with Jenni & Davida was better than I could ever imagine. Thanks to their experience, kindness, and Jenni’s magic fingers😉 I was in labor for about 2 hours and my baby was here, also no tear! My previous gyni warned me that I would not be able to give natural birth due to my baby’s size…well…that was obviously not the case and shows you how medical professionals will say things just so that they can make more money and its so obvious that Jenni & Davida has a passion for their job and considers their patients every need and well being.

I really truly had the BEST birth experience I could ever imagine and am so thankful for people like Jenni & Davida, they truly handle their patients with so much love and care.

It’s now three days after I’ve given birth and I feel GREAT! Yes, I’m stiff and sore but I didn’t expect to feel this good so quickly after birth!

They are truly remarkable and I would HIGHLY recommend them to every other soon-to-be mommy as I know she will be in the best hands!

Jenni & Davida, THANK YOU for changing my perception about birth, and THANK YOU for being so good to me , my partner and my baby the entire time! I truly feel honored to have been in such great care and for the amazing birth. This is a story I can’t wait to share with everyone!! And truly a birth I would never want to forget. It really has been magical. Thank you once again, it has been an amazing experience for me and my partner – one we will never ever forget!

I would just like to take a moment and share my New Year’s baby delivery experience 01/01/2023 at 01h25am and what great experience it was for me as a first-time mom🥰

As always was Sister Jenni ready to help and answered when I was unsure, she told me around 10:30pm on New Year’s Eve I could come for a check up to make sure I arrived, and I was already 5 cm dilated. First she helped me so nicely and my husband to get comfortable to wait for the contractions to start at about midnight New Years the contractions came very strong Sister Davida got the bath ready for me in the bath everything happened so quickly just with the help of my husband pouring water over my stomach and back I changed regularly position in the bath and within about 1 hour I was almost completely dilated Sister Jenni and Sister Divida got ready for the baby to come and by 13h25  my beautiful baby boy was born at 40 weeks and 3 days the birthing process was the best with the help and support of the two sisters making sure everything happens when it should. And all the wonderful pictures that was taken for me and my husband to always look back at the perfect moment and the privacy and time together we got was amazing I would refer anybody if you want to have that special bonding private natural birth and have all the time you want with your new family member Oh baby Birth is the best  support you get from the sisters and not to mention the lovely food and dessert you get afterwards this was a  wonderful first time experience. Thank you to both Sisters✨💕

My birth story of my baby boy Joshua.

I could always count on Jennie’s help when I was concerned over the phone , 00:00 on the 4th July I was in a lot of pain and I contacted Jennie making a booking for 1 am . We arrived there and we got told baby Joshua is coming and was booked in. Even though I was in so much pain and scared of all complications during labor sister Jennie and sister Davide calmed my mind. I had asked if my babies head is a least out so they all told me yes baby Joshua’s head is out and made some jokes . The worry I had as a mother was that the cord was wrapped around his neck , by the delivery of Jennie and Davida my boy is strong and healthy, 3.15 . At 05:07 am 4th July our beautiful baby boy had arrived by the help of two beautiful , peaceful Ladies.💕

I’m so happy to be sharing my birthing story

On 26/06/21 my water broke at around 7am
We called Sr Davida and she advised I come in for an examination, she checked that my water did indeed break and that I was 4cm dilated. I was sent home and got into a warm bath and took 2 panados.

At around 12:30 the pain was severe and I called Sr Jenni and Sr Davida and they Said I should come back in. After an intense labour our beautiful baby girl was born at 14:45.

Thank you to both Sr Davida and Sr Jenni, your calmness and care made the entire process so much easier. Thank you for sharing all the booklets before hand it helped mentally prepare me for labour. You guys are superstars and I’m eternally greatful that my husband and I got to share this beautiful journey with you ❤

It took my fourth baby to be able to have my dream healing birth. This was my third VBAC birth but my first home birth. There is no comparison. There is honestly no birth like a home birth. I was nervous as I always had a gynie who used instruments to assist baby out and I had two episiotomies. I was concerned whether I had it in me to have my dream of not having to be cut or to have instruments. But I did the research and Jenni assured me it was possible. Ladies a home birth with no unnecessary medical interventions, informed consent, calm and peace, no threat of covid or any hospital stresses. Wow what a positive experience, I’m still soaking it all up. To have no pressure about EDD, to actually be encouraged that your baby comes when your baby is ready. And to tell no one so you have no one on your back. And I was ready to walk 42 weeks. Wow, I believe this truly allowed me to completely relax. I believe this made my baby boy so excited he couldn’t wait and came a little early. At my 38 week check up on the Tuesday, after sharing I suspected I had started with some Braxton and hicks for a week. I discovered I was 3cm dilated which I know doesn’t mean anything too exciting yet. And I then had no more Braxton and hicks until the following next Saturday evening. They were mild and few in between. And stopped when I woke up. The Sunday night they started a little stronger and by Monday they were really building up to stronger rushes of waves. But they stopped again early evening. Only for them to start again early hours of the Tuesday morning. I was convinced it was baby time. Luckily I had my weekly check up booked and I got to see Jenni. The rushes were getting more intense but as I got to Jenni they almost completely subsided again. And I was only 4cms dilated. 1cm more than I was the week before. So we went home to walk, bounce on my ball, nipple stimulation and see if labor progressed. And progressed they did. It was so awesome to walk them out naked at home dancing to my worship music praying with my three little girls. The contractions were getting very intense and close but never longer than 30secs and they would be anything from 1 and a half-8mins apart. They still were a bit all over and not quiet regular. At some point my husband saw a change in me and asked my mom in-law to come be with the kids. And when my eldest asked me “mommy do we have doctor stuff?” I realised it’s time to go back to the birthing center to Sr Jenni. And just in time, I think it was just 30 mins after arriving and our little man was in my arms. I arrived and was fully dilated this time. I always wanted to experience my water breaking spontaneously and so it did all over Sr Jenni’s poor floor. In moments of stripping off my clothes as I walked in the house, making a mess, acting like a mess, at my rawest and most vulnerable. Sr Jenni was there with utter calmness to reassure and comfort me. She truly becomes your mother. The last stretch was hard for me, in my moment of thinking I can’t Sr Jenni reminded me so beautifully and gently that I could. She makes you feel safe and secure. To feel like you can trust someone with your life is a peace like non other. And in that you have the strength to push your baby earth side.
While lying there you after you have given birth you get served the most delicious meal and beverages. In hospital I only got food hours after giving birth. No one came to check on me. I walked myself to my own room.

Thank You Sr Jenni for assisting me in birthing an even stronger me. And to the dearest Sr Davida who radiates love and care. The second mother to your stay at the birthing center. To be loved on and cared for the way she does, is priceless.

These women don’t get enough credit. And my birth story barely gives justice to all.

I prayed so hard for this pregnancy and birth, long before falling pregnant. And although it took me long to finally find Oh Baby, I couldn’t be more grateful for Father finally placing me in your care❤❤❤ I feel so loved and cherished. Thanks Sr Jenni and Sr Davida❤❤❤from the bottom of my heart❤❤❤

Thank you so much for all the well wishes.

Shelemiah is our 3rd baby that Jenni helped with. 🙂 Know for sure that you are in good hands. 😉
Here is my story:

I was in labor for exactly 53 min. 😅 From the first contraction till when baby arrived. I almost delivered her in the toilet! 😂 Can you imagine.

The contractions for me is intense period pains. But one thing I learned is that you have to really breathe through each one and try to relax all your muscles. If you tense up (because of the pain) it becomes more painful and takes longer. Anyways.

During the start of the contractions I had diarrhea. So I went to sit on the toilet and that was literally the most comfortable position for me. As soon as I got up the pain got worse. So I just sat down again. I also did put a warm bottel at my lower back which helped tremendously. There I just waited it out until it would be time to drive to Jenni. My husband even poured me a whole bath of warm water, while he got everything in the bakkie. Later the contractions then stopped and I felt my body started pushing. I thought that somewhere my brain just sent the wrong message, because it would be too early. 😳 Then the next moment I realized that she was definitely going to make her appearance that moment. Luckily my husband was in the bathroom when my body started pushing again. At this point I stood up. At first I did not push with my body, but then I realized that I’ll have to push as to help her get out. Then only one hard push and she was sliding out. My water also only broke when she came out. My husband was calm and collected and a real champion. We then phoned Sister Jenni and went to her house. When I got out of our bakkie, the plasenta dropped out of me. Sister Jenni helped us into the house to cut the cord and to check me and baby. Thankfully everything went smooth and we are both ok. 🙂

Just know. You CAN do this. And trust your body, it knows what to do. We are so fearfully and wonderfully made. 🌸🌸

Good day mommies & mommies to be🥰. I would love to share my birth story with you ladies☺. I started my journey with Sr Jenni while I was 18 weeks pregnant. When I was 39 weeks I had Brixton hicks hoping for them to turn to be labour pains because now I was exhausted wanted to give birth already 😰 Sr Jenni advised me that babies come when they are ready & to keep doing exercises. Now that i was over due Sr Jenni came with suggestions on what we can do to speed things up now 41weeks. On the 27 of May was a exciting day for me because I was going to have my baby🥰🤗. Sr Davida joined us she’s so sweet and friendly. It was fun in labour room twerking to speed up pains , when pains got more tense the baby was pushing as well it was time to deliver the baby ☺ I had 3 amazing woman in the room who supported me through out the delivery. My beautiful girl was delivered @ 13:30. Thank you Sr Jenni, sir Davida & my mom Almighty God was with us till the end.😇

Morning mommies and mommies to be.

My beautiful birth story goes like this. At 40 weeks day pregnant.

29/07/2022 at around 02:30am. I felt warm and wet down there thought It was just pee. Went to the bathroom checked only to find it wasn’t, I wasn’t too sure if my water broke since it wasn’t too much. I changed my underwear just to be sure and went back to bed. Woke up again at around 3:30am only to find that I was still leaking I changed my underwear again and stayed in bed trying to make sense of what is happening, at 5am I decided to let my sir Jenny know of what is happening and she said it might happen that my water broke and coming out in small amounts, yet I didn’t have any contractions.

She said I should monitor the water and let her know if i start having any pains, but if nothing changes by 12pm I should come in.

12pm came and still nothing was happening only the water kept on leaking. So I went to sir Jenny. She checked me only to find that I was 4cm dilated and yes my water had broken but I didn’t have any pains. She did sweap and strip and then the contractions started at about 13:00pm. She repeated again at about 13:45pm they became stronger and stronger at 14:47 I delivered my bouncy baby girl. I was not even sure if I was in labor!!!

This was my third baby and she came in total different way. It’s true ladies every birth is different and unique and you can never know how baby will come. Sir Jenny and sir Divada had my hand all the way through they are such a blessing 🙌 🙏 ❤ God bless them , their work and their beautiful hearts 😍 💕
