I really feel like pregnancy and birth has so many unknowns and you don’t know what you don’t know so having someone to talk through things and help you navigate it all is so helpful. Towards the very end of my pregnancy I started to have some things come up that resulted in some extra monitoring and having Rhonda to talk through what my OB was recommending was so helpful. Additionally in the actual birthing process things can change so quickly that feeling supported while navigating that was so helpful. I ended up having to have an unplanned/urgent c section (but thankfully not emergency) c-section and even though it was scary and not what I had wanted I felt more confident knowing it was actually the best choice for baby, because I knew Rhonda was always placing value on what I wanted and had helped me to try everything we could to achieve that. I think I would have felt so scared and alone when things had to change if I hadn’t had Rhonda because I of course wanted my partner to be with our baby after she was out but also I needed someone supporting me still too.
