Lin’s part also involves being on backup around the clock from week 37 through 42 of her employer’s pregnancy. When her buyer calls her at 2 a.m. to let her know it’s day, Lin must be prepared to go, whether it’s at 2 a.m. or at 1 p.m. during a family gathering.  ,
She costs by each baby, so it doesn’t matter how long it takes – she’ll be there throughout the entire workers.  ,
” I’m proud to say I’ve never missed a birth”, Lin said. There are times when I arrive just as the girl exits, but those times are very few.
Over the years, Lin has often witnessed home births that required medical transfers, either as a result of the family choosing to use medical pain relief or the labor lasted too long.  ,
Sadly, she said, there has never been an incident that resulted in a horrific experience for the family. ” And I pray it remains that way”, Lin added.
” In my line of work, I’ve missed birthday, Chinese New Year and Christmas events, community groups, hangouts with associates and so on”, she said.  ,
” It’s hard emotionally sometimes, but it’s part and parcel of my job and I’m glad to have my friends, family and spouse be so understanding”.
