Testimonial for Madison Mellencamp
Madison has truly been a god send for my first pregnancy/birth/postpartum journey. From the moment we met her, she has been there to answer any question, ease any fear, & has the best recommendations. I can’t count how many times I texted her throughout my pregnancy with the most random questions or concerns & somehow she always had an an answer
I wanted a natural & unmedicated birth. I ended up going past my due date (12 days) & had elevated blood pressure towards the end. I was over the threshold when I was in early labor, so we decided to go to the hospital to make sure everything was ok. Madison met us there. Long story short, my blood pressure dropped & leveled out within an hour of being in triage. I was still in early labor & wanted to labor at home, but the nurses were putting a lot of pressure on me to stay. Madison totally left the decision up to me, but she gave me the confidence to follow my instincts & sign out against medical advice. My contractions ramped up within 30 minutes of getting home & just a few hours later I was in active labor. we called Madison headed back to the hospital
She was such a comfort to have there to help advocate for me as I couldn’t do much talking at this point. She is so confident & calm in the hospital setting. Truly such a comforting presence. It’s hard to explain until you see it, but I could just tell she was in her element & that energy continued to keep me calm & confident. It allowed me to follow my instincts throughout my entire labor & I ended up having the birth of my dreams. Spontaneous labor, completely unmedicated & natural birth. She encouraged & reminded me to be patient while I was pushing, which led to very minimal tearing. I don’t know what would have happened if we didn’t have Madison throughout pregnancy & birth, but I really think that without her, it may have gone very differently
