I loved working with Kim: her loving support was one of the most positive things about the otherwise confusing and potentially stressful time leading up to and after childbirth. During labor, for the most part the medical staff leave you between check-ins, so having Kim to ask questions of, get recommendations from, chat with, and get reassurance from was really helpful. In a way, because of her constant support, Kim felt like way more an integral part of my birth experience than the doctors. I loved having someone to bounce things off of and I liked knowing that even though I ended up having an unplanned Cesarean, with Kim's help I had tried everything possible to assist the baby to descend (ball-exercises, lunges, dancing, walking, various positions!). Her recommendations leading up to labor were also invaluable, allowing me to leave for the hospital knowing I was prepared.
