We hired MaryBeth Nance on the recommendation of my mother, a midwife who worked with her. She delivered both of our children. With our first daughter, MaryBeth was instrumental in helping us through a difficult labor and eased my disappointment with having to undergo a c-section. She was reassuring and encouraging and never failed to do her best to advocate for us. With our second daughter MaryBeth was just as supportive, always suggesting ways to help me through what I had hoped would be an unmedicated birth. She kept insisting I could do it, but she never pushed so hard that it made me uncomfortable. When I ultimately chose the epidural, MaryBeth was just as supportive and she never suggested I had somehow failed. I believe she is one of the reasons I was able to have a VBAC which was my goal for our second child. Another thing Ienjoyed are the pictures she took for us right after the birth as well as the birth stories she sent us which are now in our daughters' baby books. I truly appreciated MaryBeth's calm, warm, and knowledgable presence during our labors and births and I would highly recommend her as a doula.
