Testimonial for Rebecca Turrigiano
When my husband and I made the decision to deliver with a midwife in a hospital setting, we knew we wanted to hire a doula. From the start Rebecca was supportive and informative. In the prelabor meetings she not only helped us to make informed decisions about our birth-plan but also had us take a proactive approach to getting ready for both labor and postpartum. She was also a wonderful support before and after her arrival at out home. When my waters broke before any contractions had begun, she helped me to remain calm and gave me some instructions on activities to do. I was able to relax and my contractions soon picked up. Rebecca had very clearly listened to our birth vision and came prepared with things to help give us the birth experience we wanted. She was very respectful and conscious of giving us space when needed. As well as giving gentle support to my husband as he coached, encouraged and supported me through labor. Looking back on our hospital experience I feel like my husband was able to be my main emotional and physical support, where Rebecca was my wall that stood between me and the hospital environment. She helped me too remain calm and to remember that I had the right to make the decisions for my birth and to trust my instincts. After our son was born she stayed with us to take pictures and make sure we were settled in as family. Rebecca was also a great support during the following weeks as we faced struggles with breastfeeding. She was supportive emotionally and made sure we got in contact with a trusted lactation consultant. Throughout our experience with Rebecca, we were always impressed with her compassion and professionalism. There is no doubt that we will have her with us for our next birth. We would recommend her to anyone!
