Testimonial for Patricia Alatriste
I was planning a birthing center delivery and was very excited about this since my first delivery was at a hospital and was slightly disappointing. Unfortunately my son had a condition that prevented us from delivering at a birthing center and had to deliver in the hospital. While this was not the original plan, the birthing center provided us with a doula as well as our midwife. This is when I met Patricia. We met once in the office prior to delivery, but since I had preterm labor, she visited quite often at the hospital too. I was blessed with her care and she took the time to communicate via text or phone anytime I had that random question. The first time we were at the hospital she had lots of ideas for position changes and a calming effect. But that time labor stopped and we were sent home. The day of the actual delivery was so fast that she barely made it to the hospital. I was fully dilated and waiting for her arrival to push, she walked in right when pushing started. I was grateful she made it, but delivery was so fast there was no need for positional changes and getting through it all. She stayed after and helped assist with pericare and breastfeeding. Even though I had previously breastfed it was very helpful to be reminded of tips and positions for breastfeeding. After the hospital discharge she called to see how things were going and offered advice again. I would highly recommend using Patricia! We had recently relocated to the area and had no family around. It was very nice to have someone during the delivery and throughout the pregnancy that I felt I could trust and genuinely cared about me. Thank you Patricia!
