Testimonial for Birth You Desire ® LLC
Ursula was incredible and we are so happy and grateful that we hired her to be our Douala for the birth of our second child. My first birth was natural and my husband and I were very determined to have another natural birth. Because we had done it once already, we initially felt that we would not need a Douala. Thankfully we changed our minds very early on and contacted Ursula who was recommended to us by our first Douala (she no longer practices).
From the very first time I spoke with Ursula, I knew we were in the best hands. She is extremely knowledgeable about everything having to do with pregnancy and birthing. During my entire pregnancy she answered every single e-mail in a very speedy manner either with the answer or to let me know that she will respond later on as she is on her way to attend to another birth.
The birth of our son went smoothly. I had 2 nights of false labor and Ursula couched us through it so we didn't have to go to the hospital and worry about our 2.5 year old daughter. On the third night, she ensured that this was IT and we all headed to the hospital. I was hoping that the labor pain would be less severe the second time around. Well, it wasn't and we are so grateful that we had Ursula with us. She guided my husband and I throughout the entire time and showed me moves that helped ease the pain. She worked extremely well with the nurses and my doctor. They were a fantastic team and I felt safe and in great hands the entire time. Ursula ensured that all of my birth preferences (aka birth plan) were followed. She communicate my fears to the doctor: mainly my fear of tearing and my doctor and Ursula couched me very effectively during the pushing phase. I did not have a single stitch.
Ursula stayed with us to ensure that our son had a proper latch. She also examined my placenta. Ursula checked on us the following day and then came over for a post-partum visit.
Urusla is simply the best!
