I knew Kendra Lee was the right fit for us the second I clicked into view her website, Happy Waves. The wording she uses to describe the birthing experience really clicked with me. Even though my husband and I took a thorough birthing course, it wasn't until our hands on session with Kendra that I truly felt prepared to give birth. She thoroughly reviewed my birth plan and we talked through all my options together so I was fully informed and she was best prepared to support my wishes. Then we did a serious workout regime practicing all the different birthing positions and breathing she would have me use on the big day. Once my water broke (yes that came first for me!) Kendra was always immediately responsive, answering calls in seconds and texting back right away as we implemented a plan throughout the day for me to labor at home as long as possible, which was my desire. Throughout the entire birthing process Kendra helped me with the best positions and breathing for our situation at hand and kept me informed of possible side-effects for any procedures the hospital asked of me so that I was fully informed to make my own decision. Quite possibly the best part was how she stood up for my desires when I was otherwise distracted with contractions and not in the mood to fight with hospital staff. It goes without saying that I was only able to cope with contractions due to Kendra's ability to spring to action to provide counter pressure with *every* single one. She is fierce and mighty and certainly someone that you want by your side through this amazing experience!! She will be one of the first phone calls I make when I become pregnant again to ensure her availability for that birth as well. read more
