Testimonial for Paul Cobb

My 15 year old daughter was 35 weeks pregnant and was seen in L&D and Paul Cobb was her nurse. That night she was admitted and gave birth the next afternoon. Paul was to go off his shift at 11pm but decided to check on my daughter before he left. When he realized she was in labor, he rearranged his schedule to be there to support her. He was amazing! Not only did he assist her with different positions and comfort measures but he also assisted the father and reassured him of his role during labor and birth. Also in the room were 3 of her siblings (2 of them younger), myself, and her best friend and Paul explained to everyone how to help mom feel comfortable and assist her. He is knowledgeable, caring, and patient and I am thankful to have had him there. She had not planned to have a Doula nor had she attended any birthing classes yet. I am convinced that she was able to get through the birth process calmly and comfortably because Paul was there. I also thank God for allowing us to cross paths that night. I think it would have been very different and difficult if my daughter and the family did not have Paul's guidance and support. He helped make the entire process extremely rewarding and calm for everyone involved. He also stopped by to check on her and the baby the following morning. I would definitely recommend Paul to any mother considering Doula services. He is an excellent teacher, coach, and overall calming presence. Thank you for everything Paul!
