Sarah felt like family from the first time we met her. She helped my husband understand some of the environmental challenges of attempting a VBAC, and ultimately helped he and I become a stronger birth team. Thank goodness for all of her work in preparing us for birth day because labor and delivery happened very quickly for me! She coached us (mostly my husband) through concerns as we were preparing to meet her at the hospital. When she called to check on us as we were driving, she could hear me laboring and reminded me to control my breathing. She was able to get hospital staff prepared for my arrival and made sure they got me to my preferred provider for delivery. She stayed around after delivery, cleaned up my clothes, and made sure we were comfortable before leaving. If it weren’t for her, I most likely would have given birth in the back of my car! Sarah provided full support before delivery (prenatal visits, check-ins via text, constant availability during labor, position suggestions over the phone before she comes to you) and after deivery (daily texts for the first week!, weekly thereafter for a month). If she didn’t know the answer to something, she would find out. I felt comfortable talking to her about things that I usually wouldn’t be, and always felt like she had my best interest at heart. We are so thankful for her, and strongly recommend her to anyone, and especially VBAC mamas. She gets it!
