Testimonial for Julie Pichon
I have been blessed to work with Julie with all three of my children's births. The first time around we tried to have a natural birth in the hospital and Julie worked with us to prepare for that. My son decided to come early and we ended up having Julie's backup there with us for my son's 26hr labor and eventually an "emergency" c-section. While we were not completely happy with our hospital experience we did appreciate Julie's help preparing for the labor.
With my second son we chose a CNM to attend our homebirth and also Julie to assist through out the 19hr labor. With Julie and the midwife's help we were able to try different positions and relaxation techniques to help me during the long labor and 2hrs of pushing.
Lastly, Julie also attended the homebirth of my daughter. Hers was the smoothest and shortest of the three. I was in labor about 7hrs this time and only 15min of pushing. Again Julie was very helpful with encouragement both to me and to my husband - Julie's experience helps her to have ideas and suggestions for the husband in how he can best support his laboring wife.
I would definitely have Julie there if we have any more children. She has been a true blessing to our family.
