Every single day I stayed in the hospital, we were quick to request Emily. She paid attention to not only my needs but my family's needs as well. One great example was every time she left the room, she offered me and my family members something. One night, my fiancé was sleeping, and she came and checked my vitals and ended up coming back and covering my fiancé up with two extra blankets because he was so cold. She held my hands when I had an epidural because I was struggling with it so bad and she was a great coach throughout labor. She seemed as excited as me and my fiancé.

Emily was my nurse for the first part of labor. When I first got into my delivery room, she made sure she went above and beyond to have everything in place for me so I could be comfortable. When I requested the peanut ball, she went right away to get it. She had a very nice attitude and made me feel very comfortable during my labor process. I was in labor for 26 hours and I really appreciate everything she did to assist me during labor.
