Testimonial for Emily Cohen-Moreira
I cannot speak highly enough of Emily. Her prenatal and postpartum meetings she had with my husband and myself were informative, calmed any fears we had, and set me on a great breast feeding path! I had my daughter 13 days past the due date. Emily checked in with me daily, gave suggestions to help get labor going, and encouraged me when I felt like my body was failing me. When the day finally came, Emily was a source of calm, constant reassurance, and the most amazing massages. My labor progressed without a hitch until the pushing phase began. While I found pushing a relief (just like Emily said some women do), it lasted for 6 hours due to some complications. During this time, Emily provided us with very clear information when we didn't understand the medical jargon used by the midwives. It helped us make very educated decisions in a time sensitive situation. i ultimately pushed my daughter into this world using the position Emily suggested. Emily stayed with us after the birth until my husband and I decided to take a nap. She was an integral part of my birth team and birth plan. Actually she wrote my birth plan, by asking very simple questions that made the task seem so much easier than I thought possible. And, during the birth, it was clear that she had studied the plan and committed our cares and concerns to memory. When we find out that we are having another baby, Emily will be the first person we tell. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I feel my birth was a success because we had Emily with us.
