Testimonial for Elyse Pitock
We loved Elyse and would highly recommend her. She was both comforting and professional. As first time parents, Elyse started where we were and gave us a lot of great information without overwhelming. Early on she helped us choose our hospital (BK Methodist), which we were ultimately pleased. Whenever we reached out for information or with a question Elyse responded very shortly and thoroughly afterwards. She came by our home for an in person visit and went over birth plan options. Her birth plan template was essentially what we used come labor as it was both thorough and reasonable for the hospital staff to follow. In the weeks leading up to labor we would share info from Dr.’s appts and Elyse would ask us questions to get a general idea of how things were progressing. During the last couple weeks of pregnancy our OB dropped a bomb that she would be out of town during my wife’s due date. We immediately turned to Elyse who was supportive, validated our concerns, and helped us strategize our next steps and expectations. When it comes to the actual labor, Elyse was invaluably supportive. She figured out that my wife’s water did paritally break during early labor and that we should err on the side of safety and head to the hospital. She was on call and helpful for check ins for the next few hrs. She came to meet us at the hospital and figured out my wife was in back labor. This was incredibly helpful because it allowed my wife to decide to take an epidural late at night, sleep a few hours with relief from pain, before labor. During labor, Elyse was a key player with verbal and physical support. Aferwards, She took photos for us and helped in a variety of ways. Elyse stayed in close contact for a few hours and provided an at-home visit a week later to offer more guideance and process the labor. All in all, Elyse was amazingly helpful. We cane to trust her deeply and would recommend her services to our close friends and family.
