Testimonial for Esmeralda De La Rosa
I highly recommend Esmeralda De La Rosa as a birth doula! I have the honor of knowing Esmeralda as a friend, separate from her role as my doula, but I would have chosen her as my doula regardless based off of my positive experience in working with her for my first birth. Esmeralda was reliable, kind, and knowledeable. She provided three scheduled prenatal appointments where we were able to learn about the birth process one-on-one with her. This also included an in-home visit where she directly reviewed birth positions, as well as exercises we could do throughout pregnancy. When early labor started and I suspected the baby's position was less than ideal, Esmeralda came over again and helped us to trial different exercises in hopes the baby would adjust her position. The baby didn't, and therefore my labor was intense back labor from the start. It was important to me to have an unmedicated vaginal birth and Esmeralda came over as soon as called and helped us to better manage the pain given the unexpected positioning. I am confident Esmeralda's help is the reason why I was able to hold to my personal goal! She remained with us at home during labor, told us when to leave for the hospital, and was at the hospital with us until the baby was born. I also had an unexpected need for a vacuum-assisted birth, and in the moment of needing to decide between that or an episiotomy, I was able to trust in Esmeralda's judgement completely when my husband and I turned to her for advice. Esmeralda also offered a postnatal appointment in which she was 100% available to help me in whatever way I needed after the baby's birth. What helped me best was having Esmeralda rock my baby to sleep so I could have a decent meal and process my birth experience with her. I will always recommend Esmeralda to pregnant moms, and plan to use her as my doula for my future births as well!
