Jennifer's Story

Because we wanted to know more, we reached out to Jennifer after reading her FB comment:

Dr. Yarroch is the best - wish she could be our everything doctor. She is always so down to earth. When I had an unplanned C-section she was there holding my hand through all the prep. I wouldn't have two healthy babies without her.

Here, in her own words, is Jennifer’s story:

I didn't have an OB when I first started the pregnancy journey after my husband and I got married and started trying. I was referred to Dr. Yarroch by one of my best friends, who was a patient of hers. We both went through seeing Dr. Yarroch with both of our kids at the same time, so that was really cool. I didn't really know what to expect when I first got there, but she was super down to earth and friendly. She did not make me feel lesser for not really knowing how the process worked or what to look forward to.

I have a few different health concerns, and after learning about that from me Dr. Yarroch said, ‘We’ll work through it; we'll figure it out.’ Immediately she made me feel a lot more relaxed about the whole process.

With my first child, we did the induction process, with multiple hours of pushing, and then it got to the point where Dr. Yarroch had a conversation with me and my husband and suggested a C-section might be the best route for me and the baby.

I just started crying; I was terrified.

I think everyone goes in with this plan of how everything's going to happen a certain way, and when that changes, it's really scary. But Dr. Yarroch was really confident that the C-section was the best route for both of us. So now it’s 1:00am and I’m heading into a C-section. It was all kind of a blur, but I remember during the spinal Dr. Yarroch taking the time to hold my hand and talk me through the process and just reminding me that everything was okay and that she had my back, that she wasn't going to let anything bad happen to me or the baby.

That was really a relief. She made a very scary process—and I'm not saying it wasn't scary going forward—a little easier. And I knew I could really count on her.

Fast forward to my second delivery with Dr. Yarroch, which was a planned C-section. It was a totally different situation, honestly. I think I went in there with a lot less anxiety because it was planned, but still very nervous everything was not going to go as planned like the first birth. It actually went so smoothly. The difference between the two was crazy!

Dr. Yarroch is so down to earth. She’s always making jokes, loves quoting a show that we all really like—even did that throughout delivery! She keeps it real and relaxed. And she’s a good listener. Honestly, I take her advice and recommendations very seriously, but she always says, ‘These are my thoughts. What do you think?’

Yes, I’d love for Dr. Yarroch to be our family doctor. I’ve mentioned that to her. And by the way, my sister and cousin also see Dr. Yarroch and she has delivered 7 babies in the past 3 years between all of us!
