“My water broke on Tuesday morning, but NOTHING happened.  We were checked into the hospital and put on a pitocin drip….Then, the doctor did another exam…and my contractions came on hard and fast.  The birth ball was my tool for quite a while.  Coming into transition, I experienced some back labor which was alleviated by Danny’s counter pressure.  I pushed for 40 minutes and VOILA!, we had our baby!  Danny and I both felt very prepared throughout the delivery and are grateful for the education provided by Katie.”  Whitney D.
