Testimonials
Shannon M.'s Story - "I want to first express my gratitude to Tanya and the other staff at Bayfront Health Spring Hill, who made my delivery such a wonderful experience.
“With my first daughter, the decision to have a C-section came after 17 hours of labor and 48 hours of no sleep. I was exhausted and unable to express my delivery wishes. My daughter was put into a nursery while I was stitched up. I would have preferred her to do skin-to-skin with my husband or me.
“So, with this delivery, the C-section was planned. I had the opportunity to make the request and make sure my husband could try skin-to-skin. Tanya suggested I try skin-to-skin in the OR if everyone was healthy and it was safe. After our baby was born and the nurses checked her, Tanya brought her to me to do skin to skin. At that point I started to get nauseous and shaky. As soon as she was with me, that all went away. My daughter began to root and Tanya asked if I'd like to try to breastfeed; and I said of course. My baby nursed the whole time I was being taken care of.
“Because I was having a C-section, I didn't even think I'd be able to hold my baby for an hour after her birth. I am so glad I asked and expressed my wishes! Everyone was so supportive. I couldn't have asked for a better birthing experience."
