Testimonial for Birth You Desire ® LLC
Ursula is amazing. I wanted someone with lots of experience who would be a true advocate for me, without any personal agenda, and I hit the jackpot. I suffer from PTSD and was afraid that the pain of childbirth would trigger an episode, so I wanted someone who would help me think through my options for pain management and strategies for remaining calm. Ursular was incredibly supportive and gave me lots fo useful information to help me make decisions.
Ultimately, I concluded that an elective C-section was the right choice for me, and Urslua was an incredible support. She helped me feel comfortable with my choice, prepared me for what would happen and then sprung into action on the day of the delivery, talking with each of the doctors and nurses to help them understand my situation and fears. She knew the hospital well and how to be effective in the environment - the doctors allowed her into the OR to be with me while I was getting my epidural (and one of the doctors later asked for her contact info to pass along to someone in training to be a doula) and then for the birth. When I did panic on the table, Ursular was there, helping to calm me and keep me focused on the birth of my son. At one point, she led everyone in the OR (including the doctors) in a chorus of "On Top of Spagetti" to keep me smiling and calm. I was definitely a tough case, but she was supportive the entire time, and the birth ended up being an incredibly positive experience - something I hadn't thought was possible. My husband also loved working with Ursula - she was a partner to him in the OR, working with him and keeping her eye on everything that was going on so that he could focus on me. He found her knowledge about the whole process and her familiarity with the hospital extremely helpful and reassuring. We can't recommend her strongly enough!
