With my first birth being a scheduled Cesarean due to my baby being breech, I had no idea what to expect for a VBAC. Cloe made the process easy and relieved my anxiety.
Cloe has a very calming demeanor which put me at ease, she was easy to talk to and I felt comfortable asking her anything. When I went into labor, Cloe arrived at the hospital before me and helped me check in during contractions. She helped set up the room with my oil diffuser and made sure I had an exercise and peanut ball in the room. When the staff started pushing an epidural early in the process, she advocated for me, and made sure they knew I would let them know if and when I wanted one. Cloe helped me get through each contraction using pressure points and talking me through each one. My husband had to stay with our toddler until the sitter could take over, so it was just me and Cloe. Cloe kept my husband informed so he knew when the best time to come.
After the baby was born she snapped some perfect pictures so we could remember the moment. We also had Cloe come for a few postpartum visits, which was helpful when my husband had to go on a work trip and also gave me time with just my toddler in those first big transitional weeks. Having someone to talk to after the birth was great. I highly recommend Cloe and would 100% use her again for my next birth.
