It was my first baby, and I was scared of labor due to all the scary experiences I had heard about and the anxiety of not knowing what to expect. I was already scared because I was scheduled to be induced. I had heard so many stories where something went wrong or where labor took long hours and even days before delivering. From the moment we checked in, Natasha was very reassuring. I felt a huge relief when I realized she was going to be my nurse during my induction. We had actually met Natasha during the birthing class offered at Integris Baptist. Natasha was so knowledgeable, and we learned so much during that class. She is a very seasoned nurse with tons of experience who is extremely caring about her patients.

During my induction, Natasha thoroughly explained all the procedures and made sure I was as comfortable as I could be. She would constantly check in on me and my husband without us having to ask for her to. I was impressed with her level of care and dedication to her patients. While I was in pain, she reminded me that I did not need to be in so much pain if I didn’t want to. She went above and beyond to advocate for me, and my birth wishes.

At one point, my Puppps rash had gotten so itchy, and I was so uncomfortable due to the maternity monitoring bands. When I told Natasha, she immediately fixed it by getting me a larger belly band that went over my entire belly so I wouldn’t be as uncomfortable. Any time I expressed discomfort, Natasha would fix it immediately. She was just so amazing, and I can’t thank her enough for making my labor and delivery experience so much easier and for calming my anxieties.
