Beth was there to take care of me and reassure me that everything was going to be different and better this time around
My story actually starts last year in April when I gave birth to my daughter A, who ended up not living past 38 hours. It was the worst day of my life! Fast forward to this year when I got pregnant with my son, Beth was there every step of the way! My PTSD was at an all-time high because of the experience we had previously, and Beth was there to take care of me and reassure me that everything was going to be different and better this time around and that I WILL be taking my son home with us and not going home empty handed like last time. I have never felt more relaxed and relieved in my life. Not only did she reassure me but also my husband, whose PTSD is also bad from our last childbirth. Beth made sure I had the best nurses, Anesthesiologist, and doctor for my C-section. And she was one of them!!! If I knew I could have that same team when I was there, I would do it again every day! I can’t praise how much Beth means to our family! She knows that she is loved and appreciated by everyone that she takes care of!
