Her attention to detail in my physical and emotional state did not go unnoticed. With that, her quick actions when my baby was in distress were truly life-saving.
Christine was my nurse when I arrived to labor and delivery on the morning of my induction. She was kind and welcoming, and I felt very comfortable with her. I was experiencing a lot of anxiety from the moment I woke up that morning, and when I met Christine, I told her about this. Throughout my induction, she was super supportive and walked me through each step. Whether it was a different birthing position I wanted to try or my anxiety starting up again, she was right there helping me through it. When my induction turned into an urgent C-section, I immediately turned to her and asked if she was going to be in the OR with me. When she said yes, I felt such a great relief. Her attention to detail in my physical and emotional state did not go unnoticed. With that, her quick actions when my baby was in distress were truly life-saving. She was able to notify my OB right away, which led to us safely getting my baby out. I am forever grateful to Christine. She truly demonstrates what it means to be an excellent nurse to both mother and baby.
