Testimonial for Caitlin Catts
Caitlin provided excellent support for my husband and me during the entire labor and delivery process. She helped me advocate for myself through many medical decisions and a very long and difficult labor due to being induced at 39 weeks. The induced labor was very difficult and I eventually made the decision to get an epidural which I had not wanted, but definitely needed, and Caitlin encouraged me through this decision. She reminded me that I was making the right decision for my body and kept reminding me how strong I was, even when I felt discouraged and like I had failed when I wasn’t able to manage the pain.
Unfortunately, the baby was not in the optimal position and would not descend through the birth canal, so we ended in an emergency Cesarean birth, but Caitlin encouraged me to try my hardest through the long labor and the 4 hours of pushing. She recommended different positions for pushing to try to turn the baby. I was encouraged by my doctor's to induce at 39 weeks because of my Type I diabetes, which may or may not have been necessary. I'll never really know, but I didn't want to risk waiting longer. Caitlin's support through the entire process helped me be confident that the decision to deliver via Cesarean after a failed labor was the correct one. I had not wanted this, but she reminded me over and over that every decision I made in labor was the right decision and I couldn’t have done any better. We had literally tried everything and sometimes these things don’t work out the way we want, but Caitlin told me that I was one of the strongest women she had met and her confidence in me helped this first-time mom not feel like a failure. I would highly recommend Caitlin to any other mom looking for support during labor and delivery.
