Testimonial for Rebecca Turrigiano
I wanted my HBA2C ! first thing I was told to do is hire a DOULA. A doula what's that ? Seriously had no idea but if it's going to increase my odds of getting my vbac I didn't hesitate. My husband and I met two doulas and I was not feeling them but Ive always said threes a charm and thats when we met Rebecca. We purchased her package with pictures and the encapsulation of the placenta. I still did not know how all this was going to help me but Rebecca pointed out the benefits of consuming your own placenta so I did it. Ok so a doula helps" guide"great because being my "1 rst birth" I had no idea about anything. As the months went on I really didn't feel the need to contact her, but she would check up on me and I thought wow a doula is a "friend". Then at 30 wk of pregnancy my world turned upside down! My midwife had dropped me as a client for her own personal reasons I was devastated, heart broken and crushed in my mind she was my only hope for a vbac ,I sat there staring at my phone and that's when it hit me to call Rebecca! I told her the situation and in five mins she said put me back into my ICAN attitude, even though I couldn't have may home birth she asked me what's your main goal ?, I said I just want the experience to have my baby vaginally she then pointed me to a VBAC friendly doctor and midwifery That she worked with in the past, She knew how I felt about OB and offered to go with me to my appointment that was scheduled the next day. In the end I did have my VBA2C , yes my birth plan changed but NONE of it would have happened without having Rebecca by my side .
So I've summed it up to this... a doula is guiding , helpful , strength, shoulder to cry on, positive ,a mother, best friend , family, phone call, peace, happiness, joy, zen, hope, information, I can , a smile, a hug, believing in one selves body, and most of all LOVE. I would recommend Rebecca to any and everyone because she is a DOULA.
