I chose Brittney after an initial zoom meeting and loved her calm, peaceful and direct demeanor. I am a person who generally gets easily overstimulated and she helped me stay calm in the moments I became overwhelmed. I had a hospital birth, but desired to labor at home as long as possible. I remember a moment when I started getting the shakes during transition and I felt scared. She was in-tune with my body language & asked me what I was thinking. This simple question forced me to process my thoughts out loud. I shared that I was scared. She was then able to provide personalized guidance. She knows I am a Christian & told me to focus on how God provides me with strength and to replace my negative self-talk with something positive. It’s what I needed in the moment & helped me get through those final contractions.
With this being my 2nd baby, I was concerned baby would come faster & I almost headed to the hospital when my contractions were about 5 mins apart. When my contractions stalled back to 12 mins apart, I was trying to decide if leaving for the hospital was still a good idea. She reminded me of my goal (which we discussed prior at a prenatal meeting) to labor at home as long as possible, so that’s what we did. It’s so easy to not think straight when working through contractions, so I am grateful she became my compass in that moment.
I had a dream birth! Baby arrived only 15 minutes after arriving at the hospital, so it was timed perfectly. I had a home labor & a hospital birth, which is exactly what I wanted to avoid unnecessary interventions. Brittney was attentive throughout the entire process. She was hyper aware of my environment & how it would affect my mood. She provided light tough massage, counter-pressure, and applied warm compresses to my low back to help me get though pressure waves. I highly recommend Brittney to any pregnant woman! Her service was worth the investment!
