5 /5 Josephine Liu: I had an amazing experience during my delivery at Overlake Hospital on 5/1, thanks to the incredible care from Trish Fleming, Maddie, and Brittany.
Trish Fleming was by my side from 7:30 AM to 7 PM, offering unwavering support and care through every moment. She noticed I had heavier-than-usual bleeding and promptly called the OB to ensure everything was okay. When I experienced unbearable pressure with my epidural, the pain was so intense I could only rely on deep breathing and meditation to get through it. Seeing me in tears, Trish immediately called in a compassionate anesthesiologist, who was a lifesaver. He used a diluted epidural that targeted the bottom area with wider coverage, finally relieving 50% of the pressure and allowing me to breathe normally again.
Trish’s dedication didn’t stop there. She patiently coached me through pushing, helping me try different techniques and positions, and encouraging me to wait for stronger contractions for more effective pushes. Her constant presence and expertise made all the difference during this challenging time.
Maddie stepped in during the final hours, offering to count during pushing and providing calm, steady support. After delivery, Brittany gave excellent postpartum care, ensuring my recovery and my baby’s health were well-managed.
I’m deeply grateful for the outstanding care I received from this incredible team, especially Trish, whose kindness, attention, and expertise turned a difficult experience into one of strength and support. Thank you all!
