Kathleen has supported my family with the birth of my son in December 2012, the loss of a pregnancy in 2014 and the birth of my daughter in April 2015. We are so blessed to have her in our lives.
My labor with my son was 37 hours in total and Kathleen stayed in my hospital room for the last 24 hours supporting me the entire way. I believe I would have ended up with a C-section if she wasn't there. Her extensive knowledge, guidance, and patience was invaluably.
When I got pregnant again we didn't hesitate to hire Kathleen again. Unfortunately we lost the baby at 13 weeks, but she was there supporting us through this hard time in our lives.
I got pregnant with my daughter and we hired Kathleen immediately. She was always there to answer questions about the doctor visits or concerns we had. When she would visit, she would play with my son like it was her son. She recommended yoga classes, eating better, and exercises. Late in the pregnancy the baby was still breech and she discussed options for us, so we could be fully informed. Luckily the baby turned. The day I was induced was very emotional and she was there coaching us and explaining everything to us that the nurses failed to explain. I had my daughter in 4 hours, unmediated and couldn’t have done it without Kathleen by my side. After the birth she helped me get right to breastfeeding.
