Testimonial for Melissa Espey-Mueller
I knew having a drug free natural birth would be hard but I had no idea until it was actually happening how hard it truly was for me! My labor came fast and quick and with in 5 hours of contractions starting we welcomed our baby boy. Because my labor was so quick, the contractions were much harder and it was very difficult for me to recover in between each one. There was about a 45 minute window where we were in the hospital with out Melissa our doula as she was still driving to the hosptial from her home. During that 45 minutes, the contractions took over my mind and I started demanding the epidural. There was just no way I could do this! Then Melissa swooped in and took over. She had me immediately moved to new positions and the epidual word was never spoken of again...she magically made that word disappear from everyone's vocabulary! The next two hours went so quickly. Melissa helped me push through each contraction, she kindly allowed my husband to take control as well and help me through each one too. They were my team and they helped me every step of the way and there is no way I could have done it with out them. Melissa knew that our goal was to bring our baby into the world naturally and she made sure it happened. She did not allow the pain to dictate the way our labor would go! Two weeks later I am so proud of our journey and enjoying every second with our little man. I feel empowered and strong and healthy! Thank you Melissa for helping our family start this wonderful journey as a family of three!
