Dr. Marcus Greene prepped for his role in assisting Laura’s delivery, checking her vitals and reviewing X-rays. He wanted to make sure everything was proceeding smoothly, but he couldn’t help but notice Mrs. Thompson’s worried demeanor. “Mrs. Thompson, I understand your concern, but I need your help.

Laura started to unwind, little by little. Mrs. Thompson’s simple reassurance proved pivotal in facing the anxiety that lay ahead.
