Jessica came into my room to check my baby's vital signs. As she was listening for a heartbeat, she realized it was hard to find. She was very calm but acted quickly. She asked me to move onto my side, but she couldn't find it. She asked me to move to my other side and still couldn't find a heartbeat. She attached me to a monitor and an IV line.
Jessica was so calm that I didn't realize something was wrong until she stepped out of the room to call for help. She came back with 2 other nurses not long after they found my baby's heartbeat. I couldn't thank her more for acting quickly and staying so calm to not scare me.
During labor, Jessica was extremely helpful. She stood by my side the entire time and assured me I will be fine. This was my first experience giving birth. I couldn't have asked for a better nurse by my side for this incredible experience.
