Having Emily with us throughout the labor and delivery of our second daughter, Liliana, was an integral part of my experience being so positive. Everything turned out like I wanted it to, and that was due in no small part to Emily's wisdom, encouragement and warmth. Emily was there to help me through some very difficult moments; my baby was posterior, which meant that I was having some seriously painful back labor. But with Emily's thoughtful suggestions, I was able to ride out the worst of it, and got the baby to turn! After that point, things progressed very quickly, and Emily was a reassuring and calming presence right to the very end. She was also very helpful during the pushing portion, and haivng her there by my side is what helped me to have only minimal tearing and a very smooth delivery.
I would highly recommend Emily to any couple. She not only was a source of support to me and my husband, but she aslo helped in other ways: she entertained my older daughter, who was present for the entire labor, sat by my side and kept me hydrated and fed, massaged and comforted me, called the midwife when I could not, and was just generally pleasant and warm. Emily has a way of making you feel instantly comfortable around her, and that is a very good thing when you are going throught the stress of labor.
I would do it again in a heartbeat!
