Julius and Raya loved doing a home birth. Getting to be in the comfort of their own home and doing things the way they wanted to, as well as only having a couple of people around during the labor and delivery is what they loved the most. Raya loved having care from Belinda, her midwife because she is extremely knowledgable and she recommended natural ways of doing things. The Hopp's were able to contact the Promise team so quickly and with ease for the birth and when they have questions or concerns. Raya and Julius highly recommend Promise and having a home birth!
