If you have the opportunity to have Melissa support you for your birth, you are a lucky one. I feel so lucky that she was with us on this journey. On paper, I think my birth experience sounds traumatic (pre-eclampsia, emergency induction, forcep delivery). But, I look back on my birth experience as an amazing and magical day. I expected my birth plans to go out the window, but they really just ran out the door and as far as possible. I was so anxious and scared and she was so supportive. She helped me advocate for myself and my baby. I don't know how I would've made it through without her! And I think my husband needed her even more than I did. She was such a great support for both of us first time clueless parents. She is such a big part of our birth story and we love to tell it! She saved the day in so many ways.
If and when I have another baby, I am calling her the second I get a positive test to reserve her. We will not be able to go through this again with her!
