I truly cannot imagine my birth without Rhianna. From the moment she arrived at our house in the middle of the night, she brought such a calm, steady presence that made everything feel more doable. Early labor ramped up way faster than I expected, and she helped me cope through those first intense hours in ways I honestly don’t think I could have managed on my own.
My labor ended up being very long and very hard, and when things suddenly shifted and we had to transfer from the birth center to the hospital, I was so glad we had Rhianna with us. That moment was scary and emotional for me, and having her there to help made such a huge difference when everything felt uncertain and out of my control.
There were multiple points in labor where I was exhausted, frustrated, and completely overwhelmed. I doubted myself more than once. Rhianna never did. She knew when to encourage me, when to suggest something new, when to advocate for me, and when to just quietly support me. She helped me communicate what I was feeling to my care team and reminded me how far I had already come when I felt like I couldn’t keep going.
Because of her support, I was able to get through a very intense, unmedicated labor—even when I truly wasn’t sure I could. I will always be grateful for the role she played in bringing our baby into the world. Hiring Rhianna was one of the best decisions we made, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.
