Robin - Surprise Breech
Chris was very involved with my pregnancy. She provided me with books to read on better health and care for my baby and me. She also provided the prenatal vitamins I needed throughout my pregnancy! When it was time to go into labor, my water broke early in the morning, and I thought I was ready to go, but the baby had other plans. LOL. All day I was waiting to get contractions and was growing very impatient. Chris came to check on me at the house, and we discussed a few options to get my labor to progress. She gave me some herbal supplements to help my contractions start. Within just a few hours, I was calling her again; my labor had finally begun. She was very sweet and patient with me as I rolled around in labor pains, and when I started to crown, she noticed that he was breech. She stayed very calm and knew just what to do .. she had me turn onto all fours for it to be easier for him to come out. Within just a few big pushes, Robin was born into the world!! Chris and her students were so excellent afterward. They took his footprints and weighed him. And they cleaned up and even did some laundry for me before they left. The whole experience was so incredible!! She really trusted my instincts and was very calmly knowledgeable during the birth!
