I cannot begin to express my gratitude for Melanie!
I checked in with her each week during my pregnancy and she always made me feel heard and understood. She suggested resources, helped me prepare questions for my provider, and put my mind at ease when I was worried. She also checked in with me from time to time to see how I was fairing mentally as I had shared with her my experience with PPD after my first pregnancy. In all our interactions I could feel how strongly she believed in me and my body.
When I went into labor we were in constant communication until we ultimately met up at the hospital. She was an amazing support to both me and my husband during a very long and challenging labor.
Melanie provided amazing hands-on support! It was also comforting to have her there to remind me of my preferences and prompt me to ask questions when needed. Because Melanie was so present to what was happening around me I was able to fully focus on what was happening within me.
When it became clear we needed to change course and have a c-section Melanie helped me talk through this change and it was so wonderful to have her by my side in the operating room.
Although my birth didn’t go as planned it was an amazing and healing experience because I surrounded myself with caring and supportive people like Melanie. Her presence is both calming and empowering and I am so grateful she is part of our story!
