Testimonial for Rebecca Turrigiano
Rebecca was amazing before, during and after labor, and far exceeded my expectations. I had a complicated pregnancy that included fertility treatments, placenta previa, gestational diabetes, and pregnancy induced hypertension. Through my prenatal appointments with Rebecca, she gave me the confidence and information I needed to stay positive and keep faith in my body to carry me through the pregnancy. She was right! I had an amazing birth and baby!
I went in for what I thought was a routine non-stress test, and it turned out that my bag of waters had a leak and I was to deliver that day. Rebecca came to the hospital right away and supported me from early in triage to after my little boy was born. When in triage she made sure that the energy in the room was positive and I was in control of my labor when the nurses were talking induction and C-sections. My control over my own labor with Rebecca's help, I was able to avoid Pitocin and being confined to a bed. She was also a great coach when it came time to push with providing the encouragement I needed. Rebecca stayed after my labor and made sure my family and I were settled.
Rebecca not only provided very useful information and literature during my pregnancy, she also provided very thoughtful and caring surprises. She photographed my labor and made a CD of pictures for us, documented my entire labor, a postpartum appointment, and made a dehydrated heart out of my son’s umbilical cord.
Overall, I had an amazing labor and birth, and Rebecca played a large role in my positive birth experience.
