Testimonial for Jocilyn Verham
Jocilyn is absolutely amazing! From the very beginning she had my best interests at heart and was fully in tune with how I wanted my labor to go.
Due to labor complications with my first baby, there was a push for a potential 39-week c-section from my OB. Jocilyn gave me the confidence to navigate this situation feeling good about my decisions. The result landed us with a 38-week induction, a smooth unmedicated delivery, and a 9lb 2oz baby being delivered without complications.
I attribute this to going into labor informed and stress free. A few things kept the stress away: I knew Jocilyn would be there to fill in the gaps on anything I wasn’t knowledgeable on. I knew Jocilyn was there to help me work through any pain that occurred. I knew Jocilyn would be there to make sure my birth plan was followed through on.
During delivery, Jocilyn helped me navigate the different stages of labor with the perfect balance of movement and rest. She offered position suggestions that helped navigate baby into the right place to move labor along based on lower back pain I was feeling. She made sure I stayed relaxed the whole time with a dark room, music, aromatherapy, hydration, and food.
I didn’t portray the normal signs nurses look for to determine what labor stage I’m in. Jocilyn stayed in tune with the changes in my facial expressions, body movements, and contraction readings the entire time. Thankfully, she used these signs to grab the nurse right before the start of my VERY quick transition.
My husband and I are very grateful that Jocilyn was a part of our pregnancy & labor journey. The outcome could have been very different without her assistance and I wouldn’t have the blessing of being able to look back on my labor as an event I can cherish. I feel so powerful after delivering unmedicated and I can’t thank Jocilyn enough for making this dream of mine come true!
