Colleen gave my husband and I a lot of resources to look through and watch before my baby was born. It was helpful though I would have liked more sessions with Colleen to discuss the information. I liked that she gave me exercises to do and recommended vitamins to take to help prepare my body more for birth. I like being proactive and she certainly helped with that. She did a quick CPR/heimlich training for my husband and I and although we want to do it again at our pediatrician's office it was good to get an initial view of it. She answered any questions I had and was always on call so I could text her any questions I had. When I was in labor my husband and I liked that she knew different positions to help me be in and get me in to move things along. She was also just helpful as she knew things to do in general so that my husband didn't feel as flustered or helpless, not knowing what I needed. Although I ended up needing a C section she stayed with us the whole time, was non-judgemental, and made me feel cared for. Having her, my husband, and my mom in the room might have seemed like a lot at first but was actually good because everyone could take turns helping, resting, and letting the rest of my family know what was going on via text. I did wish she had been able to teach me some meditating or ways to deal with the pain a bit better but I guess that wasn't really her specialty. Overall, I'm glad we had her helping us through labor and delivery.
