Testimonial for Shelby Hicks, CD(DONA)

Our labor once we got to the hospital ended up being quite a short experience, but we were truly grateful to have Shelby there as quick as she was able to arrive. I walked in dilated to 10 cm, unbeknownst to me, so we were really trying to wait for the Doctor to deliver.  Shelby immediately stepped into a pretty chaotic room, released pressure from my husband by taking my hand and talking me through my contractions and helping me to NOT push until the doctor arrived. I think the nurse would have had to deliver had Shelby not been there to walk me through this. Once the Doctor arrived, Shelby was great at working with the doctor and nurses to help me deliver a healthy babe. She also stayed right with me as the doctor performed post partum work, which was kind.
