Bethany fought for me when all the tests said my water hadn't broken.  I had already come the night before and been sent home.  But when I returned the following morning and the test still said negative, Bethany fought to prove it wrong.  She ultimately saved us.  We had already been breached for a long time after being home the first time.  She changed it all for us.  The next day we still hadn't delivered after having to halt contractions during complications.  We got to be with Bethany again on the day shift.  She was wonderful.  I am so thankful for the care, trust, and willingness to fight for us that Bethany provided. We had her as our nurse several months prior for another issue during pregnancy.  We are so lucky to have had her so much along our journey, and I'm sure many other patients are just as lucky.  Thank you so much, Bethany.
