Throughout the entire process, Sharonn demonstrated a remarkable sense of responsibility and persistence.
Sharonn paid close attention to detail, carefully checking the dilation distance during my labor. This reassured me that she was providing accurate assessments and prioritizing the safety of both me and my baby.

When she noticed a significant decrease in my baby’s heart rate during pushing, she immediately alerted Dr. C, the physician, and worked closely with her to find a solution. I appreciated her effective communication and collaborative approach in addressing the situation.

Moreover, Sharonn took proactive steps to adjust my positions, using techniques such as lying on one side, switching sides, and using a peanut-shaped toy. These adjustments were aimed at optimizing the descent of my baby and alleviating the heart rate decrease.

Her dedication to exploring different approaches and utilizing available resources really stood out. One of the critical decisions Sharonn made was suggesting trying another push, even though the original plan was to wait for Dr. C's arrival.

This decision showcased her quick thinking and willingness to take appropriate risks for my benefit. It turned out to be a game changer, as my baby’s head started descending, and the heart rate remained high, ultimately leading to a successful vaginal delivery.

Throughout the entire process, Sharonn demonstrated a remarkable sense of responsibility and persistence. Her unwavering belief in witnessing the birth of my baby and her commitment to staying by my side until the delivery was complete, meant the world to me. It was evident that she truly cared about providing exceptional care and support.
