Nurse Fran helped me through the Labor and Delivery of my first child. Even with birthing classes and practicing the breathing exercises/ techniques at home, I was still very inexperienced and needed guidance during the labor process. I experienced somewhat of a difficult labor because my baby's arm was positioned above his head and reaching out to shake the doctors' and nurses' hands. Nurse Fran helped me to stay focused on my breathing as they were trying to reposition his arm in order for me to have a vaginal delivery instead of a C-Section. I was anxious because of the situation but Nurse Fran kept me calm enough to deliver my baby with no complications. I'm forever grateful to Nurse Fran, her kindness and expertise. I couldn't have done it without her. Thank you!
