I’m blessed with the most amazing OBGYN ever. It’s not because we are both members of the same sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. nor is it because we have mutual ties in the Charleston community. Dr. Kenosha Gleaton became my doctor in 2012 shortly after my primary care physician, Dr. Betty Obong passed away. It was almost as if God led me directly to her. I was in need of a new doctor and my friend gave a glowing reference for her and that’s all I needed to hear.
Dr. Gleaton has been a major part of our Faith to Fertility journey. She always encouraged me reminding me that we were citizens of a different kingdom. As a doctor she had to give me all of the medical information I needed, however she would often tell me that spiritually God could and would do supernatural things. She encouraged me to read the book, “You Shall Not Be Barren” and to declare that my husband and I would one day be parents. There is just something about having a doctor who believes in Christ and His promises. It’s even more awesome knowing your doctor prays with and for you. This definitely was a great start to our “Christ-Centered Covenant” pregnancy.
When we found out we were pregnant, Dr. Gleaton was over the moon with excitement. I believe she was elated because God had truly answered her prayers for Jarrett and me. The first appointment with Dr. Gleaton was amazing. The staff was awesome. It was everything I wanted and more. With every appointment brought tears of joy, excitement and just an overall sense of being grateful. Dr. Gleaton was always smiling and cheerful and just an all around earth angel.
After speaking with friends who have had babies, they explained to me that during delivery unless your doctor is working or on call you may have another physician delivery your baby. I honestly didn’t know how I felt about this. Is there a chance “Dr. G” wouldn’t be there for one of my most important days ever? I mentioned it to her nurse and she reassured me that Dr. Gleaton wouldn’t miss out on this event. She said she may even come too. lol. She explained how doctors “special” their patients and no matter what happens they will be there. In my research on the internet, I read on a mommy board how patients give their doctors gifts in advance if the baby is due during the Holidays to ensure they will be there for delivery as well as to say thank you.
I had the genius idea that I should SPECIAL my doctor and ensure she’s there for Baby Braylen’s delivery. I purchased her a SuperWoman shirt and thanked her for being so SPECIAL, SWEET, SUPERB, SPIRITUAL and SCHOLASTIC when it came to my health care. She was so shocked when she opened her gift. She immediately told me that her son had a matching onesie and she would be sure to take a picture of the two of them in their matching Superhero shirts. She also reassured me that she would be there for the delivery, God’s will.
I’m forever grateful for Dr. Gleaton for being such an amazing doctor and a sweet friend. I am so excited to have Dr. Gleaton in our life as well as knowing that our baby is in good hands as she comes into this world.

"Dr. Gleaton took me on as a patient 24 weeks into my pregnancy, which I really appreciated. She and her staff provided excellent care, were very caring, personable, and seemed to keep up-to-date on the research. Dr. Gleaton was also very open-minded and supportive about the unique circumstances of my child’s birth. On a few occasions I saw other providers in her office, and the other providers were great as well, but Dr. Gleaton is definitely my favorite."
