Testimonial for Birth You Desire ® LLC
If you want to seriously increase your chances of having a successful VBAC, hire Ursula-she made my VBAC happen. She was amazing. The knowledge and experience she brings and consistent presence leading up to the birth and throughout labor and delivery is like having a combination of not only the best doula but also the best midwife plus a specialist in natural healing techniques plus both academic and intuitive expert in anatomy and optimal mother and fetal body positioning plus excellent psychotherapist plus labor & delivery nurse plus on site chiropractor (she literally adjusted my sacrum during labor). She was able to basically fill every role at once and added a level of time and patience and care that most people never get even from a great doctor-I feel like the fact that anyone else was there was just a technicality, Ursula pretty much delivered our baby start to finish herself. My first birth was extremely difficult-a 44 hour labor, I was trying for a natural birth and was working with midwives, my baby ended up in a transverse arrest and it ended in an emergency c section becuase even though we got to the point of full dilation and pushing, and a quarter sized amount of the baby's hair was visible, she never descended any lower. I was surprised by how little my midwives knew about the position of my baby before the birth, and how they only checked after the birth, and only when I asked, to find out that I had a slightly flat pelvis. I also was disappointed in how little they did during labor to coach me-I had hoped they would have ideas on different positions to try to make things progress better etc. This time I decided to look for a doula that would work with me to try to get the baby into the right position. Ursula was everything I hoped she'd be and more-my baby was transverse again and she had great techniques during labor to make things progress and get the baby out of the transverse position and past my flat pelvis. Ursula is wonderful!
