Testimonial for Mallory Emerson
Upon meeting, we talked a lot about my first birth and how we can allow my feelings for this labor and delivery to not be controlled by the PTSD and trauma. From the first visit, Mallory assured us this would be a totally different delivery. We would have a great delivery and a completely different experience. I truly believe none of that could have happened without her. She was a voice a reason with our wants and needs in mind. We had goal words of how we wanted to feel after the delivery and talked strategy on what to do at home for early and active labor activities. She kept communication lines going as I got closer to my due date to see how I was feeling, if I felt any progress in my labor, and if I needed any additional support. She made me feel cared for and supported in a way that was much different than the support I was receiving from my husband. Not a better support - just different. She had the educational background, willing to listen and make me feel heard in my journey to delivery. She allowed us to discuss all options out loud and helped us weigh all decisions as those moments came. She ensured that both my husband and I were taken care of both physically and emotionally. Mallory was amazing at assisting me through my contractions and teaching my husband techniques in the moment so that he could be just as hands-on and not just sitting in the corner. Our postpartum visits with her were crucial for me. They allowed me to express those feelings that creep into your new mom brain in the middle of the night during feedings. She would listen and remind me of my goals I had set and provided an encouragement that again, made me feel seen and heard. Mallory would periodically text me to check-in and was available for any questions I had as we continued to get settled into our new normal. Mallory made this experience one for us that will be unforgettable and was the best decision we made during this pregnancy.
