When Fancy Partin learned she was pregnant, excitement quickly filled the room. Becoming a mother had always been part of her dream, and in that moment, it finally felt real. It was something she could begin to experience and prepare for. Her journey began with tears and celebration, shared with her best friend and her mother, turning the moment into one filled with joy, connection and meaning.

“Becoming a woman and a mother at this moment means the world to me,” Partin said. “I’ve always wanted to be a mother... I called my mother, and she was super excited. Lots of tears were shared.”

Like many first-time mothers, Partin wanted care she could trust, close to home. From the start, access and ease made a difference, with a quick appointment and early reassurance helping her move forward with confidence in her pregnancy. “My next steps were to find the first place to go to see my baby, to confirm,” she said. “And we knew we were going to go to Tanner for that. The process was super easy to make my first appointment with Tanner. They got me in quickly and did my first ultrasound.”   

Hearing her baby’s heartbeat at that first ultrasound became a defining moment, while ongoing care helped her navigate questions, nausea and the emotions that come with pregnancy.

“Tanner has supported me as a new mom by being there through all my questions about my first pregnancy,” she said. “I had a lot of nausea, and Dr. Ryan Davis was excellent in helping me and getting my questions answered about it. He has been there through every step.”

“Becoming a new mom makes me feel empowered and more fully myself as a woman,” Partin said. “They’ve helped me feel confident. They’ve helped answer my questions and supported me along the way.” Looking back, she describes the experience as more than care. Instead, it has felt more like a partnership that helped her feel supported through each step and prepared her for what comes next. Now, she is focused on what lies ahead, stepping into motherhood with confidence and anticipation.

“It means the world to me,” she said.
