After being reffered by a friend we immidiately reached out to Britt. We set up a meeting at our home days later. We discussed what I wanted for and out of the birth of our first daughter. Britt was down to earth and very real! My wife and I looked at eachother and knew we didn't need to look any further than Britt. We tend to go with our gut and it always paid off!!
Throughout my pregnancy Britt was there to answer the most bizzare of questions to just being there to listen about my checkups at my doctor. Britt understood what we wanted during L&D and was going to help us accomplish that.
As my due date was approaching my baby was measuring 2 weeks aheead and the doctors had me do another glucose test, the result, late onset GB. I blame it on my shower cake the day before. Britt was there to guide me through controlling it and assuring me that everything was ok, which it was.
2 weeks before my due date our baby was measuring 10lbs and it was suggested that I go through with a C-section. We immediately called Britt, crying. The three of us discussed our fears and decision. It was ultimately up to my wife and I but Britt was there to listen and guide us. We decided to go through with the C-section. At this point we could have cut ties with Britt because there wasn't much she could do for us on delivery day but we didn't. May 9th arrived and it was meant to be, Britt was at MMC since 1am with another family and she saw us in the waiting area and told us that she would be there when were done with the surgery. It was so good to see her afterwards, to help with skin to skin and breast feeding!
I still reach out to Britt, mostly about breastfeeding tips and am so greatful that Google isn't my first go to :)
