I had the honor of working with Julie during the end of my pregnancy and during labor. She was willing to offer her services to me even though I was at the end of my pregnancy (I was 36 weeks). She sent videos weekly on exercises to do to prepare for labor and even looked up videos specifically for me that helped with my pelvic pain!
I opted to be induced due to health concerns and she was in communication with me the entire time until she arrived at the hospital. She helped me with making an important decision during my labor and I was so thankful to have her insight during that time as I was tired and in pain.
Julie arrived as soon as my midwife broke my water and that’s when things really amped up and I was so grateful that she was there. She helped me get into some positions to help baby come down the birth canal. My labor was completely stalled until then. Less than two hours after my water was broken my body just started pushing! Julie reminded me to breathe my baby out instead of pushing. My baby girl was out in two pushes. My baby’s head was out before any medical staff came into the room! Julie moved fast to get medical staff in the room once she saw my baby’s head was crowning. My husband almost had to deliver our baby! I was able to deliver my baby without any pain medication all thanks to Julie. She kept reminding me to breathe through my contractions and relax my body to let the baby come down and that little reminder helped me so much!
I am so grateful to have had Julie there with me throughout my labor. She was extremely helpful and stayed with me for a while after birth. I would recommend her to any soon to be mom who needs support during labor. You won’t go wrong with having Julie there to support you!
