00:00:00.583 --> 00:00:01.793
[music playing]

00:00:01.877 --> 00:00:03.378
[HOLLEY] Smile.

00:00:04.630 --> 00:00:06.215
I have a six-month-old daughter.

00:00:06.298 --> 00:00:07.341
Her name is Riley.

00:00:07.591 --> 00:00:09.968
She's been the best thing
to ever happen to me.

00:00:10.052 --> 00:00:12.471
At the very beginning of my pregnancy,

00:00:12.971 --> 00:00:15.349
the first couple of weeks
went very well,

00:00:15.432 --> 00:00:17.768
and then the nausea
and vomiting started.

00:00:18.143 --> 00:00:19.645
I was a labor and delivery nurse,

00:00:19.853 --> 00:00:22.022
and it was just
very hard for me to realize

00:00:22.105 --> 00:00:23.482
that I needed to ask for help,

00:00:23.565 --> 00:00:25.567
that it wasn't just morning sickness.

00:00:27.236 --> 00:00:28.612
I cried a lot.

00:00:29.071 --> 00:00:31.323
The nausea was just so overwhelming.

00:00:31.781 --> 00:00:34.737
Just one smell would just set me off,

00:00:34.826 --> 00:00:37.329
and then I would be
throwing up for the next hour.

00:00:37.412 --> 00:00:39.706
It was just a constant
all-day sickness.

00:00:41.583 --> 00:00:42.625
[JENNI] My name is Jenni,

00:00:42.751 --> 00:00:44.670
and I'm an Optum OB homecare nurse.

00:00:45.337 --> 00:00:49.591
I see patients from
one end of the state to the other.

00:00:50.259 --> 00:00:52.761
It's important because
in these rural settings,

00:00:52.845 --> 00:00:55.556
they don't have clear access
to some of these hospitals.

00:00:58.475 --> 00:01:00.060
By prescribing our services,

00:01:00.185 --> 00:01:04.356
we help the provider by being
an extension to their offices.

00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:08.401
[JENNI] Hey, Holley.
[HOLLEY] Hi.

00:01:08.485 --> 00:01:09.278
[JENNI] I'm Jenni.

00:01:09.361 --> 00:01:10.863
[HOLLEY] Nice to meet you.
Come on in.

00:01:10.946 --> 00:01:11.405
[JENNI] Thank you.

00:01:11.488 --> 00:01:13.115
[HOLLEY] She set me up
with an infusion pump,

00:01:13.198 --> 00:01:16.285
to where I could get relief
of my nausea long-term

00:01:16.410 --> 00:01:18.662
and not having
to worry about the constant

00:01:18.787 --> 00:01:20.164
back and forth to the ER.

00:01:20.247 --> 00:01:21.456
[JENNI] Hopefully, we're going
to get you feeling better

00:01:21.540 --> 00:01:24.293
once we get this Avoset pump
started for your nausea.

00:01:24.459 --> 00:01:26.875
[HOLLEY] It took
a lot of pressure off of me

00:01:27.004 --> 00:01:29.423
without having to feel like
I needed to go

00:01:29.506 --> 00:01:30.883
to another doctor's appointment

00:01:30.966 --> 00:01:33.719
or go to another facility
to get treatment.

00:01:33.802 --> 00:01:37.347
It was very easy
to go back to my daily routine.

00:01:37.430 --> 00:01:40.868
I was able to put the pump
in my little fanny pack

00:01:41.018 --> 00:01:42.644
that Optum provided for me.

00:01:43.103 --> 00:01:46.023
It kind of prepared me
for having a baby.

00:01:46.648 --> 00:01:49.818
[JENNI] The care in the home
is life-changing for these women.

00:01:50.277 --> 00:01:52.613
They also have
nurses available to them

00:01:52.696 --> 00:01:54.698
24 hours a day, seven days a week.

00:01:54.781 --> 00:01:57.284
The patient is also called
by those nurses.

00:01:57.367 --> 00:01:59.369
They have a whole
care team behind them.

00:01:59.536 --> 00:02:02.693
Optum is following up
if their medication's not working,

00:02:02.789 --> 00:02:05.542
if the patient needs more meds,
if there's concerns.

00:02:05.834 --> 00:02:08.086
So this right here
twists and pulls off.

00:02:08.212 --> 00:02:09.421
So go ahead and twist and pull.

00:02:10.214 --> 00:02:11.548
There you go. Perfect.

00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.092
[HOLLEY] Being a mom
has been the best thing for me,

00:02:14.760 --> 00:02:16.762
the best thing to ever happen to me.

00:02:22.351 --> 00:02:23.602
[JENNI] I fell in love with Holley.

00:02:24.186 --> 00:02:26.355
I actually got Holley
to come work for us.

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:28.524
[HOLLEY] And I am now able to

00:02:28.649 --> 00:02:31.902
set patients up with
their own Avoset pumps and IVs.

00:02:32.110 --> 00:02:34.262
I feel like I'm making
such a difference

00:02:34.404 --> 00:02:36.198
in other pregnant women's lives.

00:02:36.532 --> 00:02:38.158
I can be there for them,

00:02:38.242 --> 00:02:39.868
and then I get to come home
with my baby.

00:02:40.452 --> 00:02:50.295
