We had Katie help us with the birth of our first child, and she was such a blessing!
We originally were planning on a home birth, but partway through the pregnancy had to change plans to a hospital due to complications. The two visits we had with her before the birth were extremely helpful. She gave us handouts that helped my husband and I think through the decisions we needed to make, and she explained in detail what the hospital would be like.
When I started having contractions, Katie helped me figure out if it was really labor and when it was time to go to the hospital. Once there, she knew exactly what to do. She explained anything we didn't understand, and communicated my wishes to others when I couldn't.
She directed me into positions to progress labor, and helped my husband know how to support me. After our baby was born, she helped initiate breastfeeding.
After we were home, she called to check in frequently, and answered all my questions. She also gave us a timeline of the birth with fun memories she had written out!
Katie helped make our first birth a wonderful experience, and we are so thankful for everything she did! We highly recommend her!
