When speaking of Meredith and the care she provided me, I have to talk in superlatives. She was the most compassionate, supportive, positive, and knowledgeable nurse I could have asked for during the birth of my first baby. I felt 110% safe and well-supported throughout my entire delivery. I labored for 5 hours and genuinely believe I would have had a potentially different outcome, like a C-section, if it weren't for Meredith's steadfast approach. At every turn, she made sure I felt safe and strong enough to keep going, she advocated for what I wanted with other doctors and nursing staff with respect and grace, and was the voice I needed. She explained every step calmly, clearly, and concisely so that I understood what was going on. She is truly exceptional at what she does, and I feel so blessed to have had her as my nurse. She was made to do this, and all who come into her care are so fortunate. I will never forget her and am so thankful she was part of my and my daughter's birth journey.
