About Olga

Reviewed on 10/6/2023

We were like most soon to be first parents looking forward to all the exciting and fun changes in store for us, but we had no idea how complicated things could get in a moments notice. During labour there were a lot of complications and all of my focus was on my wife and daughter. So much so that I didn’t realize how difficult this was going to be for me. Seeing my wife in pain, navigating a complex hospital system, dealing with nurses, doctors, choices that I didn’t understand fully etc. It was scary. We were back and forth from the hospital and my wife was in agony and I was getting to the end of my emotional rope. I remember this one point where I was about to collapse and Olga put her hand on my shoulder and just held me up for a moment and told me it was going to be okay. I don’t think I could have handled it without her. But that was just the first part. When my wife was in labour it was going on so long that Olga hadn’t taken any breaks. Olga was there to hold my wife’s hand when I was catching some rest and genuinely made sure she felt safe and supported. No one told us how complex things could be and it was vital to have the extra help. When my daughter was born with complications and rushed to NICU I had to go with her and leave my wife. It was a split second decision that I had to make but incredibly difficult. If it wasn’t for Olga being there to make sure my wife was okay I don’t know if I could have actually come down to a decision. It made a world of difference. We have since been in contact with her through my daughter’s happy and healthy 2.5 years of life and we have never stopped thanking her. Every time we see how well she’s growing and how well we can now handle things we are so grateful to have had Olga start us off on the right foot
