Shari was awesome! I had pain in my hips and labor was not progressing; she called everyone she could for insight on how to get my labor to progress when nothing we tried was working. A quick favor and chiropratic visit later we were on our way. I'm so grateful because I would otherwise have had a cesarean birth and drugs which I did not want. She was also extremely helpful during delivery - she knew what kind of birth I wanted and she would not let me give up even though I really wanted to (I was exhausted after two days of labor and multiple hours of pushing). She even managed to take photos, which I was intially hesitant about, but they're wonderful and I'm so glad she took them. She stopped by our home a few days later and helped us solve a problem with tongue and lip tie, which our lactation colsultant at the pediatrians office wasn't doing. So, now I've got a great birth story with the birth I wanted and a successful breastfeeding story. Even though things didn't exactly go as planned, I couldn't ask for anything more than what she did for us, and I'll definitely be calling her for any future births!
