Testimonial for Nicole Schubert
I had the pleasure of being supported by Nicole for the birth of my 4th baby this past May, 2020. Leading up to the birth, Nicole provided continuous support with updated information, research related to by birth plan wishes, and visuals that were really useful during my labor. We practiced some pain management strategies and we had conversations about how she and my husband would share the supporting role during labor and delivery so that I felt really confident leading up to delivery day. Upon being admitted to the hospital, she was able to provide gentle suggestions for positioning strategies that were helpful. She reminded me of some of the things we had talked about prior to labor, like staying hydrated, asking plenty of questions, changing positions during labor, and generally helped me stay focused on what I knew I wanted my birth plan to be. Overall, she simulated an angel on your shoulder to help me stay focused, to keep me on my planned path, and shared the supporting role with my husband so that HE felt supported in the birth process too. We were incredibly blessed to have an uncomplicated delivery and welcomed a little baby girl into our arms on 5/25/20.
Following the birth of baby girl, Nicole was available for postpartum support. I had several challenges with nursing our baby girl. Crying and in pain, I reached out to Nicole for support and advise. She had immediate relevant research to share and offered information and helped me create a plan of action when I began symptoms of Mastitis. With her support, I was treated immediately and able to minimize the pain to be able to work through this obstacle to continue nursing successfully.
My fourth birth was the easiest birth both physically, and in some ways emotionally. Having someone part of your birthing team who is dedicated to support YOU, the Momma, is so valuable and special!
