Testimonial for Kim Turton Palmatary
I can't imagine going through the awesome birth experience we had without Kim. There are so many things to know having your first child, or rather so many things you feel you should know and don't. Kim answered all our questions and kept me focused and clam through the pregnancy and birth process. The birth of our child had some serious complications, (we are all doing wonderful today), for both mother and child and my husband is very grateful that Kim was also there for him! Kim was always available to chat with and was also very respectful and never 'took' over and ensured my husband was my #1 supporter. (but boy he needed her support!) I had a long labour and although the nurses were great at the hospital, they just don't have the time to stay with you and guide you through the 'management' of labour. Thank goodness Kim was there to suggest so many techniques such as breathing and positions to help me through it. When you're in that moment, it is hard to think clearly and remember everything you're supposed to do. As I mentioned we did not have a 'typical' labour and delivery, so my experience was very different than most. And these are things you can't anticipate. We are so happy that we had Kim there with us. Don't know how we would have done it without her.
