Testimonial for Suzanne Kelly

So, this is way overdue!  I can not even express how supportive and amazing Sue was during my pregnancy.  She was available to me every minute of every day.  She sat with me and talked over my concerns.  Then when my daughter was ready to pop she was there waiting for me at the hospital at 2:30am.  She really was my rock.  We were at Monmouth Hospital and had a lovely birthing room that was set up to have a little pool in it and she set it up.  It was very helpful in assisting with the contractions.  I don't remember how long I was in there for but she sat there talking and breathing with me.  I was in labor for about 13 hours and she left for maybe a minute throughout.  We walked the halls together, she held my hand as I bounced on the ball, and the shower was really helpful with the pain as well.  With her help, I made it to 7 centimeters without the epidural but then I gave in and got he shot.  That was my goal. I wanted to go as far as possible without the shot and she asked me if I was sure, a few times, because I asked her to get reassurance from myself.  In the end, I wound up having a c-section and again she was talking to me throughout.  My body was trembling from exhaustion & the epidural so I was feeling a bit unsure and nervous.  She guided me through and in the end my little Ella was out and safe!  I really don't know what I would have done without Sue.  I am a single mother & knew I wanted someone other than a family member for this process.  She was a bit of magic presented to me in the form of an amazing, kind, caring, sweet, loving, & calm person.  I wouldn't of had it any other way!!
