This time last week I had just given birth to my daughter, India, with the help of Kelly Sunshine. While amazing, my labour was tough (the baby was posterior) but Kelly was always right there timing my contractions, applying pressure to my back and giving me all the support I needed. After a dramatic delivery, which involved a postpartum hemorrhage, I was transfered to hospital by ambulance and Kelly came with me while my husband took care of India. At the hospital, Kelly accompanied me into the OR where she was my advocate and made sure I was well looked after. Having her there meant I felt calm and safe in what could have been a scary situation. She stayed by my side til about 6pm that evening, no mean feat considering she'd arrived at the birth center at 3.30am the previous night. The following day Kelly came back to the hospital to give me my encapsulated placenta, which she'd dehydrated as soon as she got home. If that isn't going well beyond the call of duty I don't know what is. I can't recommend Kelly enough. She is one of the reasons my birth experience was so amazing, even though it didn't go quite according to my original plan.
