Susannah was an incredible part of our birth team and helped us achieve a successful VBAC! We highly recommend Susannah!
Susannah shared her wisdom and expertise in two prenatal sessions. She modeled exercises that encourage proper pelvic alignment and positively impacted pregnancy, labor, and birth. Susannah messaged me to share more movements and ask about prenatal appointments. She sent excellent resources that helped me ask providers the right questions as I desired a VBAC. When my baby was breech, she shared balancing exercises that helped baby flip.
During a week of prodromal labor after my due date, Susannah sent encouraging texts daily. She FaceTimed with me in the middle of the night when contractions progressed and followed true labor patterns. Susannah met with me to do a fear releasing exercise, which helped with the emotions and physical exhaustion of prodromal labor. She supported me at two post-term appointments and helped me to ask the right questions when considering next steps at 41 weeks.
During true labor, Susannah helped to create a calming environment for me to continue laboring at the hospital. She helped me into different positions, guided my husband as he provided physical support, and actively supported me with different movements. When we learned new details about the baby’s position, Susannah suggested new movements to help baby descend well. She helped us think through next steps and consider the midwives’ suggestions. Susannah provided unwavering support during my 17.5 hour labor.
Susannah was very supportive during pushing. She comforted me when baby was being cared for after an intense delivery due to shoulder dystocia. She stayed after the birth and rejoiced with us as we celebrated a healthy baby and a VBAC! Susannah helped me to process the birth experience during a special postpartum visit. She still checks in to see how we are doing. We are very grateful for Susannah!
