Testimonial for Melissa Espey-Mueller
My first born was born Csec due to complications.About 4 yrs later I got pregnant again!I live in a rural area and healthcare here is limited and was that my only option is another Csec.I always wanted to have a natural birth and after researching VBACs I felt it was possible if i could find the right support.I originally looked into midwifes.They were great but I lacked the confidence in a birth far from a hospital due to the complications of my first born.My mom works in the dallas area and one of her patients spoke about having a succesful natural birth of twin babies so she got the contact for me.I thought if thats possible, anything is.They referred me to Melissa a doula that I knew nothing about.When I first spoke with her she gave me all the confidence needed to have a VBAC success.She also referred me to a MD so that I would have the comfort of knowing a MD was also part of the care.Melissa was always a phone call away for any concerns we had throughtout the entire pregnacy.Finally the day came when I went into labor.She was there to coach me through it all.My labor progressed slowly and my baby decided to come sunny side up.The MD started to worry a Csec was going to be needed.Melissa is so confident in moms and their strenght and knew not to give up!She told them no Csec yet!She coached me and the hubby through it all.Taught him how to support and comfort me.I cant imagine what labor wouldve been without her!It ended with a successful VBAC story and a healthy baby born on mothers day!She was there supporting me even on Mothers Day!A day she should've been with her own family instead was there for mine.I will forever be thankful for her time,confidence,knowledge,and resources she has for us mothers wanting to make our dream birth a success.These are reasons I highly recommend Melissa.Mothers may not want the same delivery options I wanted.She supports your choices and is there to be an advocate for the most healthy,succesful birth!You keep us strong!
