I was so happy and blessed to have the birth team that I did. Esmie walked with both my husband and I throughout my pregnancy. She educated us on the entire labor process and that helped us so much to know what to prepare for. On our last meet up before labor, Esmie walked through all of the positions that we should be familiar with. It was great because my husband was able to work on them with me the days leading up to labor and it gave him room to be more hands on throughout the entire labor process.
The day of labor Esmie was great at responding and helping guide me in the early stages of labor on what positions to focus on based on how my body was feeling. Everything she suggested did just the trick! She really was the perfect extra pair of hands that I needed throughout labor. She even made sure to ask what I wanted and if I was comfortable. I especially love that she asked if I would prefer my husband counter pressing me or if I preferred him in front of me to get all the oxytocin flowing. I immediately took her up on her offer of them switching places and looking back am really glad I got to have my husband right in front of me the whole time in the hospital.
I had also communicated in advance with her how important it was for me to include prayer throughout my labor process. Esmie did just that. Through every prayer, I felt a regaining of strength and that was exactly what I needed and desired for my labor. I will definitely be hiring Esmie for all of my future labors, she helped make my first labor one I love sharing about! ??
