I had a scheduled induction, and Nurse Erin stepped in at 7 am to start my Pitocin.

Even though the L&D department was insanely busy, Erin continually checked in on us, answered all questions, and made sure my birth plan was executed when possible. She was more than a nurse that day; she was a friend and advocate. I think she was an angel sent from Heaven.

Being my first birth, I had no idea what to expect. Erin’s knowledge, recommendations, and comfort allowed me to lower my epidural dose and position me to get to 9cm fast! Erin stayed with us the entire time, well past 10 pm, to make sure I gave birth safely and my son and I were healthy, and my vitals were good. What a smooth, amazing experience! She even came back the next day to say hi and check in on us!

I owe my positive experience to Erin and her team. Thank you so much for everything! We are forever grateful.
