10/10 doesn’t even explain how happy I was with Ashley! I met her when I was in my mid 30s week pregnant. I was honestly terrified as I was so close to having my little but I had no idea what to expect. Ashley literally jumped right in without any hesitation and got a full work up for the hospital on my wishes and very thing. A few weeks later I had 2 Braxton hicks crazy almost labor pains and Ashley was there. Because thank god let’s be honest it was terrifying Fast forward to labor. I was induced and it took 36 long hours.. with no progression. She was my ROCK during it all even being turned around and moved every 30 minutes due to having a epidural. Even while being away from her OWN kids and family sitting in the hospital for almost 2 days she was amazing. Never faulting, never complained just happy to be there always asking if I needed anything. My birth experience ended in an emergency C-section unfortunately. When I came back from the OR she was still there at my baby’s side making sure my wishes were being kept. Took pictures of our first moments, making sure I got my golden hour and had a hand on Brestfeeding. If my second wasn’t a planned c-section I would have had her at my side again. If you are wondering to yourself “is this price worth it?” Let me tell you it’s worth that and more just to have that extra person in your corner. If you want someone who will become family this is who you need. My family still talks to and about Ashley being there for us. We do not regret it whatsoever.
