Testimonial for Rebecca Ralbovsky
First of all, she is very well informed and makes sure you are informed as well, even though she had not attended many births at the time of my delivery. She has a bubbly, warm personality that immediately makes you feel comfortable and open with her from the moment you meet her.
My backstory is that I wasn’t originally planning on having a doula, but there was a chance my husband might not be able to attend the delivery. I was already in my third trimester when I started looking for someone, and I feel very lucky that Rebecca was available.
She is very reliable and supportive. Her calm and bubbly presence made labor and delivery feel much more manageable—we talked about everything and nothing during labor, which really helped keep me grounded. She also helped me communicate with the nurses and doctor about my wishes.
My delivery experience with the doctor was not very positive. I felt rushed, especially because it was late in the evening, and I did not feel fully listened to. I did not want my water to be broken and wanted to labor down, but the doctor broke my water and encouraged me to push to deliver, saying laboring down was not possible and even dangerous. In that moment, Rebecca helped me communicate my concerns in a respectful and calm way and supported me emotionally when I felt my wishes were being dismissed.
Before this experience, I didn’t fully understand what a doula does. Having Rebecca there the entire time made a huge difference and turned what could have been a very stressful experience into a much more positive one. She truly helped transform a difficult situation into something I can look back on with gratitude, laughter, and love!
