We heard about Melissa through friends of ours, and we are so glad that we had her support in the final weeks of pregnancy, through labour, and once our little bundle arrived!
As labour approached, I had many questions and concerns and Melissa was there for me! She helped ease my worries, help me laugh at the funny moments of pregnancy and labour, give me confidence of what my body could do, and help me feel fully supported and that I would be cared for during my labour.
During labour, Melissa was an amazing support! She helped me think through what I could do to ease pain, she helped me think through decisions we had to make, she helped my husband know what to do and try different things to help support me, and she was there for the whole long labour that I had! Most importantly, I really appreciated how Melissa helped me through the emotions and worries I had with the complications that came along with my labour, she listened and heard me, validated me, and encouraged me every step of the way!
After our little baby girl arrived, Melissa helped us as we became parents and especially as we figured out sleep, and as I began breastfeeding. I really appreciated her check-ins, and knowing that I could reach out to her in those first few weeks as I was learning and growing as a new mom.
She made me feel comfortable, supported, encouraged, and cared for!
