Testimonial for Shelby Clark

I just birthed my first baby with Shelby at MoBap and cannot recommend her more! In the hospital and in prenatal and postpartum visits, she went over and above in so many ways. 

I didn't think I needed all the extra visits, but Shelby always brought something valuable to share or help with. (Including a surprise Tens unit and a library full of birth prep books!) Even more valuable, her joyful energy for the birth prep process and her keeping in touch along the way helped me feel more at ease and ready, rather than fearful. 

And when the time came to go to the hospital, Shelby made me feel so cared for and supported. I don't think I would have had the same natural outcome without her presence throughout the process, before the midwife arrived near the end. Her familiarity with the hospital and the midwife team was an added bonus. She advised and advocated so well, which helped because everybody under the sun seemed to be giving birth that weekend and nurses were stretched thin -not necessarily valuing the goals I had.

For 12 hours of labor in the hospital, Shelby was patient to the utmost and carried with her all sorts of comfort measures I didn't know I needed -and snacks!- to help with the process. Despite having my loving husband and mother-in-law present nearly the whole time, I am endlessly grateful to have had Shelby's experienced and attentive support and encouragement all along the way.

Shelby is such a gem!
