I worked with MaryBeth in our first pregnancy in 2007/2008. Our first thought when we found out we were pregnant again was to call MaryBeth infact she was the first one to know besides my husband and I. MaryBeth and I communicated via e-mail and facebook throughout my pregnancy at my request. She was able to provide support through emotional moments and facts when I had questions. She helped coach me with questions for my providers. I was scheduled for an induction on my due date but my daughter decided she wanted to come a litle earlier. My waterbroke the day of a snow and horrible traffic. My husband immediately relaxed when MaryBeth got there as now the person he knew he could talk to was here. My husband isn't someone who is comfortable talking to people and MaryBeth always made him feel that his questions were important and expected. MaryBeth provided me the calm support that I needed. She helped me relax. As my labor intesified MaryBeth talked me throough each contraction with visualization and positive thoughts. Her caring and professional demeanor was appreciated. The staff of the hospital very much likes and respects MaryBeth so when she communicates with them a suggestion or a need they listen. MaryBeth knew I was bearing down without me having to say anything. She took beautful pictures after the birth that my husband and I didnt notce she was taking and are priceless to have. She stayed after the birth to help me breastfeed and to make sure I was okay. She even sent my older daughter a big sister card. I would recommend MaryBeth to anyone. She will be our first call if we get pregnant again.
