Marcia was there with me during all the scary parts of the pregnancy: the External Cephalic Version at the hospital to flip a breech baby, then the delivery itself where baby, while now head-down, was still kind of positioned weirdly which made delivery take longer than I expected for my third baby. You just don't know how everything is going to go down in the end and it was so helpful to have someone there who's seen it all and can reassure you that everything's going to be okay. After this baby I experienced no "baby blues" nor did I have any emotional recovering to do, unlike my first two births. It was a really smooth transition and I think a lot of that had to do with having a supportive birth team that included Marcia. I would hire her again if I'm blessed with another baby.
