Testimonial for Cathy (Cat) Gomez
As a first time mom there were 2 things that I feared the most. 1- the fear of not knowing what to except during labor/delivery 2- fear that my husband, Donny, would not be there to help me through this experience.
My husband works out of state, I was terrified that I would go into labor and him miss the birth of his first child, and being alone especially since I don't have family near by. When I met with Cat, I discovered she completely understood my feelings, being that she too experienced a spouse working long distance. To know she could relate was extremely comforting. Cat has gone above and beyond for us helping me prepare for labor and delivery. She shared knowledge that I did not know, answered all my questions and then some. Even when I was put on pelvic rest due to pre-term contractions at 32 weeks pregnant, she came to me for our prenatal visits. Cat even took the time to bond with my over active and anxious dog, with the knowledge knowing that I may need her when laboring at home and wanted to make sure the dog was at ease with her presence. As weird as it may sound we were lucky when I went to my 37th week DR visit I was diagnosed with hypertension which lead to induction. It took out the worry of my husband not making it, once I got a hold of him, and was able to get the earliest flight out.
Even though I was terrified of the unknown, with Cat by my side she had given me the strength and confidence she knew that was inside of me to get through it all. She knew exactly what I needed and gave me the knowledge to make all my decisions. I truly could not have imagined what I would have done without her there with me. My proudest moment was the day I delivered my daughter, and I know the reason that her birth was as smooth, and successful, as is was, was because of Cat! My husband and I are so thankful to have had her on our support team. Best decision we made.
