I hired MaryBeth for the birth of my 3rd baby. Right from the start MaryBeth was able to achieve a beautiful balance between professional and personal. Her experience working with the Susquehanna midwives and the OB/GYN nurses at UCMC is an amazing asset. We had a birth plan meeting in which she helped me compose a birth plan and organize it in a way that the nurses and midwives I was delivering with were familiar with. The day I went into labor we remained in contact throughout the day until I was ready for her to come to my house. She provided me with confidence and reassurance. When she arrived at my house she provided a calming presence and helpful suggestions for working through my contractions. She was instrumental in helping me make the decision of when to go to the hospital and she was right on- I arrived 7 cm dilated which is what I wanted. Prior to my arrival, MaryBeth contacted labor and delivery and my midwive to notify them I was coming and my current status. Upon my arrival, they were able to take me right into the room I requested because of MaryBeth's update. This was amazing- being able to skip triage, etc. Throughout the rest of my labor and delivery she was by our side. She has an amazing presence and is very in the moment with you. She remained with me after the birth to make sure I had food, was settled with breastfeeding and was comfortable. MaryBeth has an amazing ability to just know and do what you need. Her experience is invaluable. If I have another baby I will be calling MaryBeth right after I get the positive test.
