I really can't fully express what a difference it made for us to have Kate at our birth. I was attempting a VBAC and very much wanted to have the natural birth I had wanted with my first. I started having high blood pressure and low fluid, and the last weeks of my pregnancy were an up and down roller coaster, with another c-section contstantly being discussed. Thankfully I was able to go into labor on my own. Kate met us at the hospital, literally arriving minutes after we did. From the minute she got there she helped put me at ease. She gave me a hot pad for my belly, and just kept bringing out things from her bag that helped me. We felt she was our advocate, contsantly asking for things to help the process and make me more comfortable. She brought the birth tub to the hospital, which I actually labored in for most of the time. Kate was just on the ball the whole time, getting me whatever I needed to make the process easier. Her encouragement helped me to get through the really tough parts of my labor where I felt like I just couldn't do it anymore. I would recommend Kate to anyone, and I know that I was able to have a natural childbirth and this life changing experience because she was part of our team.
