Testimonial for Rebecca Turrigiano
This was our first pregnancy and we wanted to find a doula who could help guide us through pregnancy and birth as naturally as possible. Rebecca was the obvious choice right from the initial interview. She had a great deal of knowledge and presented herself and her business professionally. The biggest benefit gained from having Rebecca with us was the knowledge and education she provided during the pregnancy and the birth. I was surprised that almost no information was given to me by my OBGYN office, just the basic, "how are you feeling?" and "do you have any questions?" I wouldn't have known what questions to ask if Rebecca hadn't gone over all of the things that may or may not be offered during the birthing experience. Having her sit with us to create our birth plan gave us the opportunity to ask questions and fully understand the decisions. She was patient and allowed us time to think about things or do more research as needed. At the hospital, our nurse was fairly new and I don't think she had ever experienced a patient who didn't want pitocin. Rebecca was far better than I (especially in my vulnerable state) at articulating my birth plan and supported us in pushing back when the nurse was pushing the drugs.
Having Rebecca there was much like having a mom or a close aunt in the room with us. She just fit right in like part of the family. :)
P.S. The pictures are AMAZING!!
