Testimonial for Katherine Smith
With my first pregnancy I was nervous going into labor. Katherine talked me through what to expect about the different stages of labor and listened as I explained my fear of pain and how claustrophobic it makes me feel.
Cue the most painful labor! As soon as I met Katherine at the hospital I was in a great deal of pain and felt very panicked. I wasn’t dilated enough for a room yet but my labor pain felt very intense. Katherine helped keep me out of my head. We played music, we walked around (which I wouldn't have been motivated to do on my own but her encouragement and coaching to help my labor progress really helped). She must have rubbed my lower back for two hours during that time but it was what I needed! She gave me small goals to focus on between contractions which helped me not to panic. Her coaching got me to my room and desired epidural. I felt supported all the way.
With my second birth, I was giving birth to twins. It was a rollercoaster pregnancy and I had no idea what to expect of my labor. I wasn't as worried about pain as much as I was wanting everything to go okay. Katherine was so good about reminding me to relax my body during contractions when I was tensing up which made all the difference in my labor progressing.
The twins were born quickly and healthy so an hour later when the twins got checked out and their breathing was labored they were admitted to the NICU. That was the most emotional time of my life. To have labor go so well and fast and then to have my boys suddenly be gone was excruciating. Katherine was there for me so my husband could update me about the twins. I'm so glad I had Katherine there to listen and comfort me or I would have been broken-hearted and alone.
I can't say enough how vital Katherine was to my births. They're just synonymous, my births and Katherine. I highly, highly recommend her service.
