Childbirth Teacher - Philippine Association for Childbirth Education

I wanted to learn more about natural birth and wanted to undergo a normal delivery. Since I had no idea on what to expect and had a lot of unanswered questions, my husband and I enrolled in Rome's class. Her advice helped us to understand more about what to expect and how to react. Her reassurance gave us the courage to face the actual labor of giving birth. She became an "ate" to all of us in the class and each session became a bonding experience for the class but most especially for us soon-to-be parents. Rome helped us to prepare ourselves not only for the birth of our first born but also for the joys and trials of the days ahead...Thanks Rome!
