I was induced to welcome our baby girl into the world.

Leading up to my induction, I experienced new-onset SVT at around 30 weeks. With many visits with MFM, echos, growth scans, and bi-weekly NSTs, my life was so chaotic and overwhelming.

Our 5-year-old had to attend a couple of appointments, and she was never made to feel like she was in the way or a bother. Ashley always had snacks and water for our daughter and talked to her about what we were doing. As a mother, feeling like your children are important to others is a blessing.

Ashley Tharp was my nurse for the day of my induction. She made sure I had everything I needed before I had to ask. She welcomed me and my husband with a smile and what felt like the same excitement we had.

Ashley helped take care of me in a few of my many bi-weekly NSTs. She was thorough, informative, and very friendly with every encounter I had with her.

Throughout the day, Ashley was an amazing cheerleader while I labored. She made sure I always had fresh ice chips and educated me on many different positions to make labor easier.

Ashley talked to me and took care of me like a friend, not just her patient. Ashley made sure to ask me about my birth plan and went over the printout I brought to ensure everything went how I wanted it to.

It felt like every person in the room was so happy to welcome our daughter into this world. It didn't seem like just a job. Ashley, Kandi, and Christine made sure my husband's needs were met as well through the whole process.

Ashley deserves praise for their amazing patient care.
