I found Maria's presence very supportive and loving. She came in at the last stage of delivery because my baby decided to honor us with her presence four days earlier than due date, the same day Maria was traveling to the west coast to help us through the process. Maria helped me to stay focused on the affirmation that i could deliver my baby. She was strong for me at my most vulnerable moment and gave me the support and encouragement to accomplish what seemed such an impossible feat. At last moments of delivery, the midwife in charged was asking me to push and get the baby out or they would have to use a vacuum delivery; she was also pushing to give me an episiotomy. Maria was there to help me understand what the midwife was asking, I was too high in pain and tired for what was almost 12 hours of labor. Maria helped me focus and regain my strength to deliver my baby without intervention. She reminded me that I was a strong woman and that I was ready to meet my daughter, that I had all it takes to deliver my baby into this world. Her words were like a shot of adrenaline, six pushes later my baby was born. I am forever grateful that Maria was there for me, with me. It was a very special moment.
