"You made me feel safe! As a first-time mom I was terrified of going into labor. I had no idea what to expect. In addition, I was induced and put on Pitocin which took things from 0 to 100 quickly. By the time anesthesia came, I was 10cm. Cheryl and Jamie made me feel safe, they talked me through labor and how to breathe (I had gotten so worked up that I was hyperventilating and my hands seized up). Cheryl said "you are hyperventilating, you have to breathe like this" and sure enough it worked. My girl was born with the cord around her neck, but Cheryl and Jamie worked quickly and my beautiful girl was delivered."
