Brandy Puskas is a nursing student who spent a day "shadowing" Beth during one of her prenatal days. This was an assignment for her Anatomy and Physiology class and this is the report she turned in. The client's names have been changed to protect their privacy.
The following is a log of my afternoon spent with Beth Overton, CPM. The name of her practice is “Gentle Beginnings” and her office is located behind her home. The office is very cozy with several chairs with fluffy pillows and the rooms are painted in warm colors. The actual “examination” portion of her office also consists of warm colors and a cozy daybed where the patients lie down to be examined. It makes for a very comfortable, non invasive setting. There are pictures on the walls of babies that she has delivered and gifts made from moms that she has helped deliver.
Her days are pretty slow going, and very relaxed for the most part. She allows each of her patients one full hour of her time. Beth gets to know most of the mothers pretty well; two out of the three patients we saw on this particular day had already delivered a baby previously with her. |
