As we approached the birth of our first child, my husband and I had a lot of questions and felt we wanted additional hands on support in this process.
Having Melissa support my husband and I through labor and delivery, and now postpartum, has been such a blessing. She was very involved and supportive leading up to our induction, and then was a game changer during the actual labor and delivery. Nurses are in and out of the room, so there's a lot of down time where you're experiencing these big emotional and physical changes, and to have her right there through it all was incredible. I felt so at peace during the process and she even helped to set up the hospital room with pictures I printed and lights to make it a beautiful environment to deliver in.
Even during delivery when there is a lot happening, she was right there offering me water between pushing, counting, helping me position my body, etc!
Her care didn't stop after birth- she continued on connecting with us and helped us to recap our birth experiences in addition to supporting with my postpartum preeclampsia. Melissa just checking in and praying for us along the way, has been such a gift.
