Testimonial for Julie Pichon

My husband and I had our baby boy, Hudson, in November 2010. We were around 30 weeks pregnant when we first met Julie. I knew I wanted to have a natural childbirth but because I didn’t know what to expect was very scared. We were in the midst of relocating to Indianapolis with new jobs, a new house and having a baby! Julie was so accommodating with our crazy schedules in meeting for childbirth preparations. I didn’t want to take away anything from my husband during the birth of our first child, and remember Julie saying she would be there for us in any manner we wanted her to. That was a huge relief to me…she knew what to expect even though we didn’t and knew how to comfort me during the birth but would be ok with my husband being right there too. The pre-birth education Julie provided was outstanding….that alone was so helpful and the hard part hadn’t even come yet! Julie helped me write a birth plan so that everyone knew what our wishes were. She came to our house for a few hours before going to the hospital and was by my side for 13+ hours through the night and into the next day. She walked the halls at Clarian North with me for hours and pushed me to fight through the pain. She was wonderful! Julie also helped me with breast-feeding for a few weeks after birth. Hudson is now 7 months old and Julie has still been there to help me with questions with breast-feeding and to offer encouragement to fight through some infections. We will definitely be calling on Julie again to help with our next child in the future!
