Nineteen months on, as I look back on the whole birthing experience I am filled with joy and a large part of that has to do with Kiran. Every visit, all the way from putting together a strategy to conceive to my monthly checkup was a pleasure. When you’re tired, exhausted, and want the baby out, she greets you with gentle confidence and promises it’s going to be ok. She picks up the phone every single time, even at 6 am on a Sunday morning when you think you’re going into labour, but it’s really just your neurosis kicking in. I was keen on a natural delivery and I knew she was the person who would support me as long as it was advisable. I trusted her completely. But mostly it’s the attitude, the ferocity of experience coupled with a relentless 1000 watt smile, which makes her the best at what she does.
