Hiring Emily was hands down the best decision my husband and I made during my second pregnancy. After having a difficult labor/delivery and postpartum experience with my first, Emily was determined to help me get my "redemption birth." Throughout my entire pregnancy, Emily provided comfort and reassurance along with a wealth of knowledge and advice. Her calm, cool demeanor was just what an anxious Mama like myself needed. Towards the end of my pregnancy, when I was convinced that it would again end in an induction like my first, Emily encouraged me to have faith and trust in my body. When my son decided to make a fast and furious entrance into the world, Emily helped me to find a strength that I didn't even know existed. I truly don't believe I would've gotten my "redemption birth" without her.
