Testimonial for Rebecca Turrigiano
When we decided to try for a VBAC with our second child, we knew we wanted a doula for support throughout the process. My husband and I interviewed several doulas, and when we met Rebecca, we instantly knew it was the right fit. I left our interview and every subsequent meeting with Rebecca feeling calm, empowered, and confident. She has an evidence-based practice and shared articles and research with us throughout the pregnancy so we were well informed going into our VBAC. My labor started at 1:30 in the morning and our beautiful boy was born vaginally 23 hours later. Rebecca was at the hospital with us the entire time. Throughout my labor, she was assertive but respectful in her interactions with the hospital staff and our doctor. I am most grateful for her encouragement and ability to keep me moving. I had to be on the monitor the entire time, but Rebecca made sure I was able to walk, shower, and move around as needed. My husband and mom were also present for my labor and delivery and Rebecca made sure they were included in the process. My mother was skeptical of having a doula and was concerned that she would “take over her role.” Now I think my mom is her #1 fan! :)
Though I have only known Rebecca for a short time, she will always hold a special place in my heart as the person who helped me accomplish my greatest achievement. I truly do not think I would have had the strength to go forward with the VBAC if it were not for her encouragement, support, and experience. She will be my first call if I get pregnant again and I would absolutely recommend her to any expecting mother. I should also mention that Rebecca took absolutely stunning photos of my birth that I will forever cherish. Thank you Rebecca!!
