She helped me through the many stages of labor and birth ... helping me to smile and cry it out.
I recently gave birth to my 3rd beautiful daughter. My first most recent experience with this nurse was a night I had to be monitored for pre-eclampsia. While I was there, she was warm, bright, and very attentive. We had a great conversation, and she helped me to feel calm and comfortable. Not only was she warm and attentive to me but to my husband and care partner as well. I was elated to see her and receive her care while being induced ... and over the moon when she was there for the birth of my daughter. She helped me through the many stages of labor and birth ... helping me to smile and cry it out. Hold my hand in pain and give me confidence and coaching through it. If that wasn't enough, she happened to be called into work, and I was lucky enough to spend more time with her while healing and caring for my newborn. She worked many different shifts in those times I had spent with her. Showing her dedication and love of her job. Anyone in her care is especially fortunate. She is a true gem. And I can't thank her enough for her skilled care.
