As a second-time mom hoping for a better birth experience, hiring Grace was one of the best decisions we made. Even though we reached out at 39 weeks, she kindly took us on and immediately eased so much of my anxiety.
She took time to understand our previous birth experience which included a c-section due to stage 2 arrest, and addressed how we can approach this labor with a clean slate and techniques to support a different outcome.
During labor, Grace communicated our previously discussed plans with the care team which allowed me to fully focus on labor. Her reassuring presence gave me the confidence to make decisions based on what felt right for me in the moment, rather than giving in to what was being asked of me out of fear of being seen as difficult.
Thanks to her guidance, encouragement, and use of techniques like Spinning Babies and positioning support, we achieved the VBAC I had so desperately desired. We truly couldn’t have done it without her.
