Testimonial for Melissa Espey-Mueller
I met with Melissa early in my second pregnancy, and right away felt such warmth and sincerity in her demeanor! Based on conversations and her actions during my labor, it's obvious that she has a ton of knowledge and insight into birth. She was ready to answer my questions and offer advice via phone from the moment I hired her. I didn't check in with her too much until late in the third trimester, when she reminded me that she was interested in how things were going, and that I shouldn't feel like I'm bugging her. At the birth, she was incredible! I'm certain her knowledge of positioning ensured steady progress toward delivery. She is clearly familiar and beloved by Baylor nurses and staff, and at a shift change she basically picked (politely requested?) the nurse we would work with (who was also wonderful).
My husband is a very capable and supportive birth partner, and he was nervous that Melissa may usurp his role. He reports that Melissa made him feel even more adept and supported him in supporting me.
We are both so impressed and grateful to Melissa. We will absolutely hire her again, should more births be in our future.
