We\u2019re thrilled that our patient, Hayley Winterberg, entrusted us with her care and with sharing the story of her and baby Jasper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hi, Hayley! Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My name is Hayley Winterberg, a mom of three kids. I live in Buckeye, with my husband, and have worked in healthcare, but now work as a CEO at a nonprofit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How did it feel, knowing you were first pregnant with Jasper?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I found out I was pregnant at only four weeks along and was quick to ensure I had a first appointment. I was so excited to be pregnant with my rainbow baby and yet so terrified as I had experienced a loss just a year prior. It was a relief to regularly have appointments that confirmed Jasper was doing well and growing as he was supposed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Describe your high-risk pregnancy journey with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was considered high risk because I had previously had a subchorionic hematoma with my last pregnancy and a small one with Jasper. Luckily with Jasper, this healed very quickly and didn\u2019t cause any complications. I have a brain condition (to much spinal fluid on the brain) that changes in pregnancy which required additional monitoring of myself and Jasper from Valley Perinatal, Ophthalmology and a Neurologist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later in my pregnancy, I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. I found this to be a scary diagnosis and ensured to take it very seriously. I followed the recommendations of checking my sugars regularly, made significant diet changes and changed my exercise habits (as much as I could at 7 months pregnant). I was able to avoid insulin or medication to manage the Diabetes. Jasper was born with perfect blood sugars and no complications from the gestational diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through each step of this process, Valley Perinatal coordinated and shared information with all of my doctors which ensured I received all the necessary care for myself and Jasper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What was your experience with Valley?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I was monitored with Valley throughout my pregnancy. I went into active labor on 9\/19\/21. My Adelante doctor actually broke my water in the hospital, and so things moved very quickly. However, they apparently had left the hospital and could not be reached as I was going into labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nurses were scrambling to find a provider to assist with the delivery while trying to have me stall labor (which was quite a feat to try). Needless to say, I was panicking, scared and unmedicated so feeling everything. After a while, one of the Valley Perinatal OB Hospitalists, Gemma, walked in and introduced herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I simply remember seeing the Valley Perinatal logo on her scrubs and instantly feeling comforted. I felt that everything was going to be okay from the second I saw that logo. I appreciated her calm demeanor as she delivered my son Jasper and ensured everything was well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jasper was born at 38 weeks, weighing 7 pounds 10 oz. We had no complications. Both of our blood sugars were exceptional during our hospital stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I truly appreciated my care provided by Valley Prenatal over the last year with both pregnancies. I appreciate the care you provided me with this pregnancy. I am so grateful that a valley perinatal provider was there for my delivery and truly stepped in at the right time. Thank you for placing an emphasis on exceptional quality care for your patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
