Kate was an angel during my delivery. She showed up at the birth center with so many tools for my pain management and comfort, and from that point on was always checking in on how I was doing. She offered different positions, including utilizing the tub and toilet (which were my favorites), and provided hot and cold compresses, essential oils, hip squeezes, lip balm, snacks, water, and many other things that I can't quite recall. She even delegated things for my sister to do who was there, which just made everything more seamless and manageable. She was always advocating for me! I couldn't imagine how it would have been had she not been there, especially because the baby's father was not there to support me and I had a challenging delivery. After being fully dilated at 10cm and pushing for 4 hours with no progress, I chose to transfer to the hospital to get an epidural and rest. At the hospital, Kate spoke to the nurses and staff and made sure they knew exactly what I wanted from my birth plan, again prioritizing my needs and comfort. She stayed the entire night while I rested and even talked me down in the morning when I started getting anxiety about pushing again. She helped give me the confidence to continue, and 3 hours later, my baby boy arrived! I am so grateful for Kate and would highly recommend her a thousand times over :)
