It was an absoulte pleasure to work with Jill for the birth of our second daughter! I felt like Jill knew just what to do in every situation without me having to say anything!
My pregnany was uneventful until week 34 and then it got exciting. Our baby was diagnosed as IUGR at week 34 and we were told that I would be induced on or before 37 weeks. Jill was by my side the entire time. She stayed in constant contact and up to date with all my doctors visits throughout the pregnancy and then more so after the diagnosis of IUGR.
Just to make things more exciting; At 36 weeks and 5 days 1 day before I was going to be induced, I experienced false labor. Jill dropped everything she was doing and drove all the way from Castle Rock to Layfette at 5PM in rush hour traffic. She even offered to pick my 5 year old up from day camp. So awesome!
When in came to the real deal at 37 weeks, my husband and I checked in to the hospital for the induction and Jill met us there. I really wanted to experience a natural birth the second time around but I was being induced and having my water broken manually. I knew how hard and long labor could be from my first daughter/birth. Jill helped me manage the pain, anxiety and fear. Baby Scarlett was born naturally with fentanyl and nitrous oxide within 8 hours.
I honestly could not have done it without Jill. There were several times I almost gave up but Jill kept me going strong. I strongly recommend Jill!
