Testimonial for Birth You Desire ® LLC
This was our second birth with Ursula- she, again, could not have been more essential before, during, and after. Our first child was ten days late. Ursula helped me lay out a plan to facilitate going into labor naturally and timely. I went into labor naturally on my due date.
I gave birth with the midwives at GW. Ursula was there with us minutes after we arrived even in rush hour traffic. She had a number of ideas on how to work together, alone, or with my husband to precipitate labor if I wanted or slow things down to take a break to gather energy.
The midwife was not present in the room for most of labor, so Ursula clearly communicated with her where she knew me to me progression-wise and offered suggestions to the midwife on what should be done, as the baby was ready to come yet the midwife wanted to slow things down.
Ursula's attention to me, my personality, my needs and my capabilities allowed her to suggest appropriate techniques to the midwife to help me during the final stage.
She is remarkable talented, intuitive, and caring. I felt safe taking her advice on labor positions, but also felt safe listening to my body and doing what I felt the baby needed to descend- all under her careful watch.
We, again, are grateful and indebted to Ursula for guiding us through a six-hour labor which could have been longer and more complicated without her total focus. We consider her part of our family.
