Althought MaryBeth has attended both of my births, I didn't hire her for my first birth. She was getting her certification at the time, and needed one final birth to obtain her certification. She was very attentive, came to my house in the middle of the night and stayed with me, eventually following me and my husband to the hospital. I had a very long labor, and labored naturally. She supported me through it all. After my son was born, he had some complications and ended up in the NICU. Her own personal experience with a NICU gave me great support and comfort. I felt so fortunate to have had her as part of my birthing team. When I got pregnant with my daughter, I knew I wanted MaryBeth to be there. In addition I wanted to try hypnosis for laboring and delivery. MaryBeth recommended an excellent home study course. Once again, she came in the middle of the night, followed us to the hospital and stayed throughout the whole event. She was aware of my needs, and my preferences during labor. It was nice not to have to worry about anything while I was hynobirthing. I can't imagine having a baby and not having MaryBeth present. She truly has a gift for what she does.
