Testimonial for Deb Skelton

I was a neurotic with my first pregnancy. I wanted someone with me who would advocate for my desires in the hospital and who would answer all my crazy pregnancy questions. Deb was the perfect person!  She is non-judgemental, she understood all my concerns, and she is such a calming person.

I let her know my goals for my birth early on and she helped me stick to them.  Specifically, I wanted to give birth in a hospital, but I wanted to be in the hospital for as little time as possible before and during labor.  When I went into labor, my husband texted Deb and she helped us through everything. I spent the whole day at home relaxing and texting Deb and feeling completely confident because Deb was walking me through every step.

When we finally decided to go to the hospital, Deb joined us. Two very short hours later, my daughter was born.  It was such an easy, shockingly stress-free experience, and all thanks to Deb!  In the hospital, Deb was instrumental in giving my husband helpful tasks and keeping me calm and focused. The doctors and nurses all loved her as well.   

After the birth we had Deb visit us with the newborn and she was again a calming force, reassuring us that everything was going well and answering all our questions.  I would hire Deb again and again.  She made the experience of giving birth so memorable and happy, which is something I never thought possible.
