It has taken me over seven months to write this review, because I honestly do not feel like I can do Kathleen justice with it.
My birth did not go as I had planned. My water broke and I did not go into active labor, my VBAC supportive doctor was headed out of town on vacation that day, I failed to progress, even with pitocin and I ended up with an emergency c-section from a dr I was uncomfortable with.
Kathleen kept me sane and calm through all of this. She was an amazing support through the physical pain - constantly encouraging, massaging and comforting. She was also an amazing emotional support. When everything about the hospital experience seemed unfamiliar and out of control with my doctor gone, her knowledge of staff members, other doctors and hospital protocol was extremely reassuring.
She was with me for more than 24 hours and, although they would not let her in, was getting text updates from the nurse during the surgery and filling my family in.
I have highly recommended her to everyone I know. I think I am done having children, but I really wish I had known and hire Kathleen during my first pregnancy, as I might have been able to avoid both c-sections.
She really is an amazing woman and I cherish the time I spent getting to know her.
