This was my second delivery, with my first daughter I had complications from mild pre-eclampsia I was induced and stuck to a bed. I am thankful my daughter (Abigail) and I are both healthy but I wanted a second chance at a natural birth. Best Start gave me that chance and I will always be grateful! This pregnancy was normal I started with an OB, hoping that I could just use a doula and not push it with our insurance. I soon realized that was not going to be the " natural option" My OB was always trying to push procedure on me and never took the time to allow me to ask any questions about her philosophies that made me decide to try Best Start. Since my pregnancy progressed normally I was able to deliver here. I went into labor January 2, 2011 after several hours at home I was hoping to be getting somewhere, so I called the midwife. She had me come in for a check and found that my baby was posterior. We could not even tell if I was dilating. I went home ready to work and turn my baby around. 12 hours later I made my second call to the midwife. She had me come in and my fear was I would be sent home again. Those fears were re-leaned when my water broke in the parking lot. Then I was told I was 7cm! 1 1/2 hours later my second baby girl was born, Haddassah Lynn at 9:23 pm January 3 a total of 25 hour labor! Susan, Janna, & Felicity were wonderful through the whole process! My birth would not have been such a success without them. Thank you Best Start, for a second chance!
