00:00Well, we ended up coming to a Queanbeyan hospital by coincidence, I had some issues at 12 weeks
00:07with paperwork and hadn't gotten into the Canberra midwifery program and I was overwhelmed
00:15and quite upset and I called Sue in a fluster, having spent a few hours on the phone with
00:21CHS and she must have heard it in my voice because she immediately said, hey darling
00:27calm down, you've got time, you're 12 weeks and she talked me through what care would
00:32look like at Queanbeyan and I just felt really reassured and comforted and that's how we
00:40ended up here and it's been a great journey and we've got the little one now, so thank you.
00:46You made all the difference, truly.
00:49It's lovely to hear.
00:52But when you started talking, I remember the phone call.
00:57And I told all my friends and family actually, it was by coincidence but it must have been
01:01meant to be because we've had a great experience.
01:04Yeah, that's just what I needed to hear.
