Mariah was fantastic! She helped us through a successful VBAC every step of the way.
In the pre-birth meetings, she seemed to really care about getting to know us and what we hoped for with this birth experience. She helped talk us through some of the anxieties we had lingering from our last birth (which ended with an unplanned c-section). Our first baby was poorly positioned for a vaginal delivery. Knowing this, Mariah was determined to help baby #2 get into good position. She was very confident and knowledgeable about techniques for doing so.
During labor, Mariah was a wonderful coach. She has a very calm and reassuring presence about her. Left on our own, we would have run out of laboring positions and coping techniques in probably two hours. Mariah, fortunately, had a never-ending bag of tricks to help the labor be productive while still being as comfortable as practical.
We were very fortunate to have the birth we wanted, and we attribute a lot of that success to Mariah's help.
