I can't say enough good things about Rose and the amazing support she provided me and my husband during labor. I contacted her at 36 weeks. Surprisingly, she was more than willing to help me out and make herself available to us in early December.
I called her when I thought it was time to go and based on how I was feeling she encouraged me to go to the hospital very soon and she would meet me there. Turns out i was already 9cm and thought things were going to progress very quickly. She knew exactly what I kind of natural birth I was wanting to have and when things slowed down and got difficult, she stayed by our side and suggested other positions to help me through the contractions. She captured on camera some great moments of my husband being an awesome support to me during the contractions. I'm forever grateful for those moments! She also had her phone ready to play some music that I had requested. She knew the cue words to say to me to help me relax and stay as calm as possible throughout the contractions. She really was a tremendous blessing.
During the pushing, she was on one side, and my husband was on the other. They worked together wonderfully to help me stay focused and not lose control when I was beyond exhausted. I was so grateful that she was there to stay in the room when the midwife or nurses had to leave. I never felt like I was alone. She helped me make some crucial decisions during labor that I wouldn't have wanted to do on my own during that time when I wasn't in the state of mind to do so. After our baby was born, she snapped some great pictures of him. I'm so thankful I have those now. :) I would recommend her to anyone. Especially if you're doing hypnobabies. She knows what to expect! :)
