Testimonial for Carolynn Slocum

I was so grateful to have Carolynn with me during my labor and delivery this summer.

She stayed with me for the entirety of my active labor, which was over 12 hours, and was by my side while I had to undergo an emergency c-section in the middle of the night and early morning. Carolynn was an insightful and fun labor coach, working with me and my body to have, truly, and enjoyable labor experience.

Once things became apparent that my little one wouldn't be able to be born vaginally (he was sunnyside up and the umbilical cord had wrapped around his neck), Carolynn helped keep me calm and grounded as I prepared for surgery. I can't express my thankfulness that she was with me for the caesarian; and she was able to care for my newborn as I recovered, assisting with skin-to-skin with me and my baby and getting baby nursing right away.

From her caring guidance weeks before birth, to actively helping at the hospital, and follow up care weeks after, Carolynn has been a consistently invovled and critically helpful part of our complete experience. I highly recommend her services!
