For Kathee Metz of Howell Township, the difference between staying “horribly pregnant” and happily reaching post-labor last month was found in the “magical” hands of a stranger.
Metz said she was skeptical July 10 when a nurse advised her that getting a massage could speed up her labor process, but because Metz was well past her due date, she gave it a shot.
“I totally and completely give all credit to the massage, because nothing was happening before then,” Metz said. “I don’t know how she did it. It was like magic.”
