Cape midwife

I struggle to put into words what Natasha has meant to us as a family in the birth of our 2 girls, just 15 months apart. Not only is Natasha the most caring and loving person, but even more she is a fountain of knowledge and experience, who has always guided us in the best care before, during and after the births. Together with doula Amy, they make the best team and I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you Natasha for ALL you have done for our family. Having home births with you has surpassed our wildest dreams of what childbirth could and should be like.

Natasha assisted with the birth of both of my children. I could not recommend her more. . . . . Review for Birth of 2nd born In 2023. 4.6 kgs - Boy Between fairylights, steam, prayer, water, candles, contractions, surrender, power, strength, spiritual warfare and inner peace... Our family of three became four early the morning of the 8th April 2023. With the assistance of Natasha, I laboured in a birth pool. With her knowledge and experience she turned baby before birth with the help of position and contractions. . After birth all babies check-ups was done on mom or dads chest. He needed some oxygen and received it while snug on dad. The golden hour was hours and the after care and love Natasha shows towards family is irreplaceable. . . . . . Review for 1ste Born in 2021: 4. 5 Kgs - Boy I was blessed to have her as my midwife. As a first time mom she guided us but always made sure that we do our homework and to never make fear based decision. She always works with a back up genealogists / OB and also highly recommend we get a doula which we did. THE BIRTH: On the day of birth we received all the professional assistance as communicated before hand. Birth took place in her birth room that included a birth pool, bed, toilet ,shower and all basic emergency equipment. She knew we were coming as we kept her well informed with everything so she was prepared and ready for us. She allowed me to hang fairy lights and played my choice of music. I listens to birth affirmations while sitting in the pool. My husband had snacks and coconut water ready and Natasha urged him to keep me hydrated . Natasha would do regulars checkups and ask how I feel . She made me feel safe in her hands. My husband would hold my hand, read affirmation, crack a joke, pray or just be there. Our Doula Enita stayed with us most time and Natasha would come and go until needed. The needed space to relax was welcomed. Natasha would assist in moving me from water pool to bed, bed to ball to assist my body and made sure my feet never got cold or touched the ground directly. Thinking back I wonder how many towels and linen saver they must have used ? Placing pressure on my back/hips, massaging my feet and monitoring the baby and my vitals. Her hands knew what to do. Baby was born , healthy and beautifully smeared in vernix. The cord clamping was delayed as we wanted and communicated. Natasha had him on oxygen for a while until his breathing stabilized on my chest. Skin to skin was wonderful. She handled him with so much care, skill and compassion. We had what felt like golden hours with our baby in a birth room , It was beautiful blessed experience. Even though she guided me, future mom's should always remember that ’you” have to be the one to ”deliver” your baby with your own body. Prepare according. Please do share all your medical history and be honest with her about EVERYTHING before and during pregnancy. Its devastating to see how not being honest with your health care professional can lead to unseen and unwanted circumstances and they usually get blamed for it. They can only do their work when they have all the information to work with. I am grateful to have had her and my amazing birth team and would recommend her .

We had a fantastic experience with Natasha as our midwife. She was professional and guided us through everything we needed. We built a relationship with her through the pregnancy and wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to take this journey with. We being first time parents had loads of questions to which Natasha had the answers to, backed by her decades of experience. Natasha made the correct calls on crucial moments during birth which gave us peace of mind knowing she will not put mum or baby at risk whatsoever. We highly recommend Natasha for parents wanting to have all natural births.

The equipment and services were not delivered as promised. We trusted her as a medical professional but she was hardly ever in the room with us. When she was in the room she showed zero compassion to my wife and I as first time parents to be. After many hours at her place we were eventually transferred to hospital. I would not recommend Natasha to any parents to be and would score her zero if I could.

Natasha Stadler is the MOST AMAZING midwife you'll ever have. She has delivered both of my babies with ease, to me, it was my dream birthing experience. I definitely recommend Natasha Stadler Thank you, Natasha for helping me to have the most amazing birthing experience ever.

Natasha is so welcoming, loving and calming. Made my daughter feel at ease. The birthing process was comforting due to Natasha's approach. She's passionate about bringing those miracles into the world.

An extremely traumatizing experience. I had to attempt giving birth in her private bedroom and bathroom. It was messy, with personal belongings laying around and the bed was very uncomfortable and sunken in. The rooms she initially showed us were not available on the day of my baby's birth. The birthroom was occupied by another mother and the back-up rooms were being rented out on AirBnB to people having a big party in the backyard. My partner and I were alone most of the time because the other mother's baby was premature and needed attention. There was no doula to assist, even though she promised that she always works with her own doula. She also kept on leaving to go fetch some equipment and then stayed away for long. She told my partner that if the baby came, he must catch it and keep it warm. I felt comfortable on the toilet so she said I must have the baby on the toilet if I wanted to. But because she wasn't there most of the time, I felt very scared to push, even more so on the toilet obviously. At one point I asked to go in the tub. She took me to her personal bathroom. The tub was stained and not clean like the one she uses in the birthroom. I felt nauseous and a little dizzy from the pain but the bath was very soothing. Unfortunately, I told her that I felt sick and she tried to force me out of the tub. She grabbed my arms and tried to yank me out of the tub. I begged to stay in the tub, promising that I already felt better, which I did, but she would have nothing of it. She kept yanking at my arms while angrily threathening to take me to the hospital for a c-section. After many hours, the labour wasn't progressing, so she suggested that I get back into the tub. By this time, I was completely exhausted and delirious from the pain. My body went into shock and I had a very violent seizure in the bathtub this is probably where the miconium got into my baby's amniotic fluid. She didn't call the doctor or transfer me. She left the room again and went and made herself coffee. I understand that she was under stress from the premature baby and roudy party but she was very impatient, insensitive and showed little compassion towards me. When I struggled to push, she got very impatient and unsympathetic, saying that I was the only one that could do it, and threatening to take me to the hospital for a c-section if I didn't try harder. She seemed very annoyed most of the time. Needless to say, I ended up in the hospital and my baby in ICU.

Super friendly midwife with many years experience in Europe and South Africa as an independent midwife.

Translated by Google Most exceptional and incredible experience ever had with Natasha. She is the best and will go back again. She was in control all the time and does it with ease and she has an unconditional love for what she does and an incredible amount of knowledge. If I could give 10 stars I would.
