Testimonial for Birth You Desire ® LLC

When I found myself pregnant with our second child in July 2014 I knew I wanted to have a better birth experience than what I had with my son (a long unproductive labor ending in a C-Section due to "failure to progress"—no one's idea of an awesome birth).

Thanks in great part to Ursula's guidance during my second pregnancy and her presence in the delivery room two weeks ago today, the experience I had during the birth of our daughter was was above and beyond ANYTHING I could have hoped for.

As a VBAC hopeful and the mother of a busy almost 4-year old all I had really wanted this time around was to avoid another C-Section. The best case scenario for our daughter's birth, I thought, was that I'd get to the hospital in a productive stage of labor, get an epidural, and push the baby out at some point. Thanks to Ursula's recommendations for exercise, nutrition, and chiropractic care, to say nothing of her direct, supportive guidance in labor, I was able to have a completely natural (and rather amazingly fast) delivery, an experience I will never, ever forget. I think Ursula saw in me a potential to have a birth I'd not have dared ask for, and helped me find a power in my own body I had no idea was there. 

She worked AMAZINGLY well with my obstetrician and the nurses in the delivery room—my doctor couldn't speak highly enough of her! She also kept me and my husband in the loop on those often disconcerting/confusing medical details you tend to hear about yourself in these situations so I could focus on laboring (and my husband on helping me). 

I could go on and on, but suffice to say: I truly believe there is no better birth guide in this area than Ursula Sukinik, and please trust me when I say that I am a pretty damn critical sort of a person. You are in the best possible hands with her.
