My husband and I were excited to have our first "ours" baby, but had very different birth stories when it came to our existing children. It was important to us to get on the same page about expectations during delivery before we got there. I had an epidural before and wanted to go med-free this time, so I knew I needed extra support.
Enter Heidi. I'd heard great reviews about her online, and we felt good and our choice from the first interview. She is bubbly and exudes confidence, which is wonderfully disarming when you're feeling vulnerable. Despite taking birth classes (also with Heidi), we would have been floundering in the delivery room without her experience. My labor progressed rapidly and I had no time to get out my references on massage and counter pressure. She directed my husband, too, which helped us feel connected in the moment. He said afterword that she was worth every penny and wouldn't have known what to do without her.
My postpartum visit with Heidi was one of the highlights of the package. I was feeling lots of conflicting emotions, and felt that she honored them in a loving way. I have a good support system, but her experience went the extra mile in understanding how I felt and offering gentle guidance.
In short, if we decide to have more kids, I can't imagine going it without Heidi.
