I had had a c-section for my 3rd child and it was a terrible experience for me, so I was terrified when I found out I was pregnant again with my 4th after only 6 months. Mindy helped talk me through my fears throughout my pregnancy and gave me the assurance I needed. I wanted a VBAC but I was considered high risk. I found a Dr. willing to do it and Mindy was very supportive. She was there when I went into the hospital to deliver and helped my husband and me through my contractions. (This was his first vaginal birth, so he did not know what to expect.) I knew I wanted an epidural but I also wanted to wait as long as I could. Mindy helped me get into positions to help with the pain, massaged my lower back and shoulders, use the exercise ball, and talked my husband through the things he could do to help. Finally after 8cm dialated I got the epidual. She was always very supportive of my needs and wants and how I wanted the birth to go. I was able to successfully have a VBAC and Mindy stayed until my husband and I were ready to do it on our own. It was a great experience having Mindy there!
