“I knew that things were not quite right. Being that I am in the medical field I knew I was developing pre-eclampsia and that my daughter would probably be born sooner than later.”

“My feelings were right, I was sent to Labor and Delivery straight from my appointment. This was my first child and I was scared to death and my daughter was probably going to be born 2 weeks early.”

“I arrived at the Harrisburg Campus and was taken to the "Waiting Area" for expecting mothers. It was a very busy place. I was monitored for what seemed like forever, but Dr. Eskin decided it was best for me to be admitted.”

“Once again I was very upset and scared, but I had some wonderful nurses to help me through this.”

“The next few days I was on bed rest due to my blood pressure. We were playing a waiting game because I was not dilated.”

“I probably would have gone totally insane waiting for the birth of my daughter if it weren't for my nurse Karen Wager, RN. She was my strength when I was ready to crumble.”

“Dr. Cohen was great too. He was so busy with other patients, but he took time for me like I was the only patient there. Here it was, Memorial Day weekend and I was having a baby.”

“I was to be home working on getting my house in order since we just moved into a new home 2 weeks before. Talk about stress! Anyway, finally Sunday at 5:12 p.m. our beautiful daughter Marley Elizabeth was born and it truly was a Memorial Day Weekend to remember.”

“I cannot say enough about the nurses and doctors who took care of Marley and I during that Memorial Day weekend.”

“Harrisburg Hospital Labor And Delivery is fabulous! Way to go and thanks for everything!”
