Testimonial for Christine Potter
Words cannot discribe the value of having Christine as a part of our birth experience. Leading up to the delievery, she was attentive and helpful, checking in every so often, being a sounding board for my emotional concerns. On the day of delivery, we went in early and didn't deliver until nearly midnight. She was present the entire time, advocating for me as needed, but mainly attentive to my needs throughout the day. She helped my Husband be the support person I needed, showing him ways to assist based on what I was feeling physically. She kept me up and moving, transistioning positions every so often to keep labor going. When things got rough, she had tricks up her sleeve that made the experience less brutal. Above all, she was kind, encouraging, and checked in with me emotionally throughout the process. There was one point where things had changed unexpectedly (as they do in labor) and she checked in with me after the Doctor had left the room. This one simple act helped me process what I was feeling and helped us come up with a game plan.
Lastly, THE PHOTO's! Oh my gosh, what an amazing eye she has. I am so thrilled with them all. Being able to capture and have the moment our daughter was born was worth her weight in gold! Everything else was just a wonderful extra. The photo-journalistic quality of her images allows for sharing that day with anyone, without concern.
If you are contemplating her value durung this time, don't. I delievered at the hospital with Christine, my OB, and my Husband and I would do it again in a heart beat. To those on the fence (especially the significant others), just do it! The mom-to-be gets focused assistance throughout the labor, the OB loved working with her (didn't feel there was a power struggle), and my husband can't stop singing her prasises.
Thank you Christine from the bottom of my heart!
