I had my first child about a month ago. I cannot tell you how many times I would go to my monthly checkup and come home feeling very anxious and nervous and all around scared. Especially during my last couple of months. Christine contacted me during my two greastest panic moments, once via phone, once in person, and managed to calm me down without even knowing what I was feeling at the time. It was a great blessing to have someone who could come around amd ease your fears tremendously. Especially when there is so much you really do not understand the first time you are aboout to give birth. All you have is what others tell you. I never thought I would be so afraid. I didn't even want to take the birth prep class because I felt it would just make me more anxious. And because I knew Christine would be there during every step in my birthing process, I did not feel it was worth the extra money. I still believe that to this day. Not only did she calm my fea rs about the process, but she helped me to find the perfect hospital to deliever at and gave me several recomendations on doctors that deliver there. And although my labor went so fast that the doctor I chose couldn't even make it on time... I have now found a doctor who will be there with me for both general health reasons as well as during my next pregnancy. If it weren't for her my husband would not have felt as confident as he did. Nor would I have had the support that family memebers such as my mom and sis could not even provide though they said they would. She managed to keep their heads on straight as well as my own. Labor wasn't fun, but I know that at the end of the day it could have been worse. I wouldn't have made it naturally. I wouldn't have felt the support that I did from everyone without her knowledeable leadership. I beleieve that I have truly met a friend for life. And know that she feels the same. :) Thank you Christine, for everything!
