Jessica eased all my fears and was by my side, cheering me on during every stage of labor and delivery. We had no complications at all, and I felt so empowered.
Jessica was my labor and delivery nurse during the birth of my second child in April of 2024. Jessica went above and beyond to help me have a natural delivery; I truly felt like I was her only patient. Jessica spent so much time with me and used her expertise with her Spinning Babies education to help move my baby down naturally and to help keep me comfortable. Jessica checked on me at least every 15 minutes during her entire shift. As a nurse myself, I know how demanding and busy the duties of the job can be.
Jessica never once rushed me. She had a smile on her face, positive words of encouragement, and advice for me every time she entered my room. She used both her clinical knowledge and her personal experience to ensure a safe and healthy labor and delivery experience. I felt confident that I was in the best hands under her care.
Jessica went above and beyond for my family, both clinically and personally. Not only did her expertise allow for the safe and healthy delivery of my baby girl, but she also ensured my goals and wishes were recognized and honored. She engaged in personal conversation, which helped take my mind off the pain and kept the mood and atmosphere very laid back, yet also very joyful. She relieved any anxiety I had. My husband and I could not have asked for better care. My 2-year-old son was also included and made to feel very special when he visited after delivery. She provided exceptional patient care. I was so grateful to have had Jessica by my side during such an important and special time.
While I had excellent care with the birth of my first child, I had complications after delivery and was overly anxious going in this time for the birth of my second child. Jessica and the entire team were prepared and well-educated and worked together to ensure this birth experience was very positive and healthy. I was so nervous about potential complications again. Jessica eased all my fears and was by my side, cheering me on during every stage of labor and delivery. We had no complications at all, and I felt so empowered. She made the entire experience so incredible that I’m actually considering having a 3rd child (which I never thought I would say!). The labor and delivery team at Saint Francis is second to none, and I am so honored to call them friends and colleagues. I would highly recommend this team to all friends and family!
