I am unsure how to start this review, but I’ll just start with a brief overview of my past experiences with my other labors. I’m not someone who has a super low pain tolerance, nor do I have a super high pain tolerance. I’ve been able to handle my labors for the most part, but once I transition, my mind and my body go opposite ways, and then panic sets in, so you could imagine how I may appear to most medical staff and providers. Hormones send me on another level, and sometimes my body and brain just can’t work together in those moments as I’d like them too (rationally). So, my third labor I looked into using a midwife instead. The minute I met Amy and her colleagues, I knew I’d be comfortable with them. I just had my third baby, and Amy was on call, and must I say, AMAZING! I felt so out of control as I labor quickly, and she was right there with me, and making eye contact with me, and encouraging me. In all honesty, I don’t remember much of what had been said, but I remember how she treated me. I felt so guilty for loosing control again, since I’ve done labor before, so in my mind, I could have handled things better. I kept apologizing, and Amy was so reassuring. Thank you Amy for not making me feel that I was failing at something I was made to do!
