Testimonial for Rebecca Turrigiano
Not only is Rebecca an amazing mother in law, but she's also an incredible doula.
Im so grateful that she was present for both of my births. My first birth experience was not as smooth as I would have hoped considering i was induced and had multiple interventions through it, but she was such an awesome support person the entire time. She guided my husband on how he could help, which I know was a big relief for him since we had no clue what to expect or how he could comfort me. She gave me such confidence in my body especially when it came time to push. Her words of encouragment and affimation that I was pushing wonderfully and successfully made all of the difference. When it came time to have my second baby, I was so nervous and scared since my previous experience did not turn out as expected. However, it could not have gone more beautifully. She had my birth plan and was able to communicate my wishes with the nurses and doctors, so that I could focus on laboring and not have to worry about a thing. I wanted to go as long as I could without drugs and I know if she wasnt there, I wouldnt have made it as far as I did. She knew when to let my husband comfort me and she knew when to step in when she could see the pain was too much. Her techniques on helping me get through each contraction were so helpful! When I decided I wanted to get an epidural, she supported me and made me feel so proud that my body made it as far as I did. I was feeling a little guilty because I would have liked to have gone all natural but she reassured me that I knew what was best for my body. She also encapsulated my placenta for me which has helped tremendously with the after birth. I swear by them! I cannot rave enough about how amazing she is. We will definitely be having her support us in all our future births. I wouldnt want to do it without her.
