Testimonial for Mindy Bates
Mindy was a wonderful help and a blessing during my 3rd son's birth. She was a vital part in me being able to carry out my birth plan -- naturally, without medications, and I wanted to spend some time at home before heading to the hospital. I called her the morning my water began to break and she was at my house within 2 hours and hung out with me all day just talking me through things and keeping me relaxed. When I eventually decided to go to the hospital, Mindy would remind me of my options so I could make informed decisions on what I wanted to happen. She showed my husband some ways he could help ease my contractions pain and be a part of the process. As things progressed, she always kept a calm tone, reminded me how "short" this moment in time really was, and talked me through my contractions. She was such a vital role in making this the smoothest birth I have had.
