I truly cannot imagine going through labor and delivery without Suzanne. From the very beginning, she was an invaluable guide—answering all our questions before birth, offering steady support throughout labor, and checking in on us postpartum to make sure recovery was going smoothly.
During labor, Suzanne was nothing short of essential. She coached me through tough contractions, guided me through targeted exercises to help with dilation, and helped us navigate medical decisions by clearly explaining every option our doctor presented. When I received an epidural and couldn't eat solid foods, we realized we had forgotten to pack clear fluids—Suzanne literally came to the rescue with honey and safe drinks to keep my energy up.
The pushing phase is where she provided the biggest help of all. She tried several different techniques and positions to help me push effectively and gave me the strength to keep going when I needed it most. She truly made it happen and supported me like no one else could. Even after our baby arrived, she stayed until she made sure both baby and I were completely settled, safe, and doing well before heading home. Suzanne felt like family by the end of this journey. We are endlessly grateful for her support and could not recommend her more highly!
