Testimonial for Mindy Bates

Mindy was a lifesaver when I went into labor with baby #4! I deliver in Lincoln, and I had to travel from Columbus after my water broke in the middle of the night. Mindy met us on the way to Lincoln and left her car at a gas station so she could ride with us and help me through labor while in the car. What a huge blessing that was!!!! My husband was free to drive while she kept track of my contractions, rubbed my back, and calmly comforted me through each contraction. She helped me remember to breathe deeply, and she helped keep me calm when I hit transition (which started before we reached the hospital). By the time we got checked in at the hospital, I was dilated to 8, and she contunued to help me through the rest of labor and delivery. She was so attentive to my needs and my comfort. I am so thankful for the way she helped us through that car ride!!!
