Testimonial for Michele Peterson
Michele was there for me before, during, and after the birth of my daughter. It was so reassuring to be able to ask questions and get advice throughout the pregnancy. Michele has so much experience and knowledge and was so crucial in helping me have the birth I was hoping for! During my delivery, labor stalled a bit and she suggested massaging some scar tissue that helped me finally dilate and have the vaginal delivery I wanted. She also knew when to take a break from pushing and try some spinning babies exercises to get the baby into a better position for delivery. All of her suggestions including the exercises, the TENS machine, holding a comb, and all of her guidance during the pushing phase, were the reason why I was able to deliver the way I wanted to. When I was in the middle of meeting my daughter for the first time, Michele made sure that the doctor and nurses honored the requests on my birth plan. I didn't have to worry about advocating for myself because Michele took care of everything so I could spend every second enjoying that moment. She was so great at calming me and helping me to slow my breathing during really tough moments. And she took a bunch of photos throughout the delivery that I will treasure forever. I know that I wouldn't have had the birth experience I wanted without her help! And the post partum visit was very helpful also. She helped me with breastfeeding and provided many other tips during a time when I needed so much guidance and support. Her warmth, wisdom, calming energy, and strength made me so thankful to have her there, and helped me to have the most memorable and sweet birthing experience.
