No matter how much you love being a mom, an unplanned pregnancy can cause despair. "To tell you the truth, I was pretty depressed," says Heather. With three very young daughters-the youngest about one year old-Heather and Michael weren't ready to have another child. Heather made an appointment to see Dr. Todd Schad, who had delivered Isabella about a year earlier.

Heather recalls, "I went back because I felt as if I was the only patient-that's how important Dr. Schad made me feel." She had her first two girls, Brittany and Hanna, in Madison. "I really loved my doctor, but I didn't care for the larger hospitals. They take a long time to get to you, and then they're too rushed," Heather says.

Heather admits that she first thought a smaller hospital might not have the latest technology, but when she arrived at Sauk Prairie Memorial she saw how well-equipped it was. Plus, everyone was right there ready to help, even though they were pretty busy.

So, after having Isabella at Sauk Prairie, Heather and Michael trusted them. When she suspected another pregnancy, Heather went back to Dr. Schad. It's a good thing she did. "I was very upset and nearly in tears. He listened and talked with me for an hour and even stayed past his regular hours. I felt a lot better," says Heather.

Lindsay decided to enter the world late, so mom went to the hospital to have labor induced. "I remember Lindsay got stuck on her way out. Everyone was calm the whole time and knew exactly what to do. It helped me a lot."

Heather and Michael, thrilled with their four beautiful girls, aren't planning on more children. "But if we were, we would go right back to Dr. Schad," says Heather.
