Mariah-Lola Duff, BSN, RN, RNC-OB, C-EFM

Mariah was my nurse for two days during my induction process, and her care was truly exceptional. On the first day, she was consistently kind and attentive, not only to me but also to my partner, ensuring we both felt supported. On the second day, when my baby’s heart rate dropped, Mariah responded quickly and diligently. Despite the urgency of the situation, she took the time to explain what was happening and what to expect, bringing a sense of calm to the chaos.

When I required an emergency C-section, Mariah was by our side throughout the entire process, providing unwavering support. Following the delivery, I experienced a hemorrhage, and Mariah once again acted swiftly and kept me well informed. Her professionalism and compassion were evident in every interaction. After these traumatic events, Mariah took the time to debrief with me, offering a moment of reflection and encouraging me to discuss the experience with my physician, which proved invaluable to my healing process. As a first-time mom, my delivery was far from what I had envisioned, but Mariah’s advocacy and exceptional care made all the difference. I am deeply grateful for her dedication and the sense of security she provided during such a challenging time.
