Christine Wieberdink works very well under pressure.  If her expertise were called upon to keep a mother and baby safe, Christine would stay calm and handle any emergency situation with care and precision.  She is a very competent and professional midwife.  My second natural birth was at home with Christine.  When we discovered shoulder dystocia, she helped me push out the baby by directing me into the Gaskin Maneuver, or "all-fours position," on my hands and knees.  When the cord was wrapped around my son's shoulder like a seat belt holding him in, she unhooked it successfully so he could be released and born, with his cord intact.  She resuscitated our baby's breath and saved his life before the ambulance arrived, and for that, I will always be grateful for Christine, and her years of midwifery experience.
