Sarah was such a blessing to me! I am so grateful for her calming and caring presence during my pregnancy and labor. Leading up to my labor Sarah was so kind and thoughful and i felt comfortable sharing more personal things with her. She was always a source of encouragement when i needed it. When my first sign of labor was my water breaking (PROM) I had some anxiety that my contractions would not start up again - mirroring my previous birth. Sarah had some good suggestions of things to try to get my labor started and it worked! She arrived just in time for my contractions to become intense. My baby had been more on my right side which had been a slight concern for me. She had me try a few positions to labor in including a deep lunge which I think helped baby shift positions because my contractions shifted from my back to my front and labor went really quickly after. My entire labor was only two and a half hours! Sarah had tools with her that made a huge difference in my comfort level. She also timed my contractions and helped communicate with my midwife when I couldn't. After my baby was born she stayed to support me and my family until things quieted down. She and my husband were a great team and I couldn't have done it as smoothly without them. I still think back on the whole experience and just smile. It was everything I had dreamed of.
