Testimonial for Birth You Desire ® LLC
We hired Ursula for our first childs birth and it was a wonderful experience. Infact, my sister in laws have also hired Ursula for their births. We quickly hired Ursula when we were pregnant again with our second. Our second birth turned out to be a very different birth than the first birth. With our second birth we went into labor early and needed to be at the hospital longer so this time our drive to the hospital was more leisurely. My husband and I started discussing what we thought Ursulas role would be because 'we had done this before'. NEWS FLASH: every birth is different. Obviously we were aware of that idea but really hadnt thought about it. Ursulas role with #2 was just as important as her role in the first. I consider myself to be a pretty aware person, prepared, and informed, but I know my second birth could have been a lot harder if she had not been there. The only thing familiar about this birth was that feeling towards the end where you wonder how much longer you have to endure labor. Ursula was there every step of the way, providing support (physically and mentally), different laboring positions, information, guidance, and sometimes some humor. She is also very friendly with the hospital staff which certainly is a positive. Ursual is tough and straightforward and she is also very warm and passionate. She has a way of molding to situations, she is there when you need her, and backs off when needed. Ursula is a very hard working woman and I wonder how she funcations with a crazy work schedule, being on call 24/7, and the sacrafices she makes with her family to be there for moms to be. Consider yourself lucky to have Ursula be by your side when in labor. I have a handful of friends who have tried to have a natural birth, unsuccessfully, and i truly believe their experiences would have been so much different with the assitance of a doula.
