Testimonial for Emily Daddario
Emily met with me before the birth of our son, even before we knew she'd be the one to help us deliver. She had great insight, was extremely encouraging, and made sure to check in every step of the way. When the time came and my husband and I were sent to the hospital for our induction, Emily was great about answering our questions and checking in via telephone so that she could really get a gauge on how I was feeling. Once we were in active labor, Emily came to the hospital. The minute she walked in the room, she stepped in gently and helped us to labor. She knew the importanance of God in our lives and encouraged my husband to pray over me and our baby while laboring. Emily was amazing- working with us to try and get baby boy down the birth canal. When I developed preeclampsia and had to labor in the bed, Emily persisted and worked tirelesly with the nurses and doctors to get me and baby into the best position. Something that Emily told me that stuck with me was, "If it ever goes from pain to suffering, then we need to reevaluate." That was so incredibly freeing for me, as someone who had every intention of laboring naturally and whose plans went entirely out the window. When I decided to get an epidural, Emily was supportive and even proceeded to sponge bathe me, so that I would be more comfortable as I prepared to welcome our son into the world. We labored for hours more, eventually ending up needing a c-section. While I could have felt so defeated, Emily spoke life and truth over me and my husband and supported us throughout the whole process. Even after our birth, Emily has continued to check-in and even came to visit, bringing me some post partum goodies and a plant propagated form a plant passed down through her family- so sweet!
We are so thankful for Emily! As first time parents, we really couldn't have done it without her!
