Polly was a critical part my whole birthing process. She was with us every step of the way from the very beginning, through a the birth and afterward as well.
I experienced a long labor with some hicups toward the end. Polly assisted me from 1AM on Sunday to Monday at 2:30PM.
After our initial visits she came to our home and gave us exercises to help position the baby correctly. She gave us resources for various indo we needed throughout my pregnancy and helped me iron out my birth plan. She was there as support leading up to the birth.
During labor she came to our home and was there to help me through surges, dancing and provided me with massage and aroma therapy. With her help and support I was able to put off getting pain relief both times-morphine from the hospital during my midway point and an epidural at 7.5 centimeters. We labored in the bathtub and she encouraged us to take a nice walk in Queen E gardens. She was there with the correct tehillim and prayers throughout the birth and Brit Milah.
The most interesting part is that during our time at the hospital, Polly had said believed the baby to be posterior even before any of the doctors or nurses were able to tell. She supported me in my desires to see out my birth plan and was great working with the staff at Womens Health
I labored the best I possibly could given the circumstances and so much of this was because Polly was there supporting my husband and me.
