I was pregnant with my second child, so I pretty much thought I was a pro at giving birth (LOL). The morning of July 26, 2011 I woke up with excreciating pain. I called Keisha to let her know that I thought I was in labor. When we arrived at my doctor's office, I was immediately turned away and told that I was experiencing Braxton-Hicks. Thankfully, Keisha was knowledgable and experienced enough to know that wasn't the case. She took me to the ER where I was admitted onto the labor and delivery floor. By this time, 47 minutes had passed and I went from 0 to 10 cm in what feels like instantly. Before I knew it, I was crowning with no doctor or nurse in sight. The lack of care I received was mind blowing. Thank God Keisha was there to deliver my babygirl. She was there with me throughout the entire process, holding my hand, allowing me to yell profanities, all while coaching, relaxing and encouraging me the whole way through. I don't know what I would have done without here and can't imagine going through another preganacy or birth without her. We plan to have another child within a year and Keisha will defitnetly be there with me.
