Testimonial for Sara Krivanec, CD(DTI), CLC, CCLS
I didn't have any braxton hicks contractions. I had no idea what contractions felt like! So when I started to go into labor, I freaked out. I do not handle pain particularly well, and I thought how in the world was I going to do this - it hurts this bad and it's only the beginning!
After maybe half a day laboring at home, Sara came over at midnight. I still remember the immediate sense of calm I felt when she got here. She brought with her an incredible amount of peace, confidence, and composure when she arrived at our house.
Over the next 12 hours, she helped me with various positions and pain management techniques. We did a lot of hard work, and I kept hoping we would go to the hospital soon.
But after 12 hours, my labor fizzled out!
So Sara went home, and I tried to get some rest. My contractions started up again, and we met Sara at the hospital. As my labor kept fizzling out, I started on some Pitocin.
Fast forward oh, another 12 hours, labor was progressing but it became obvious my little one had wiggled herself out of her perfect anterior positioning, and had turned her head. Sara and the nurses looked up some spinning babies techniques, and guided me through what felt like hours more of contractions and crazy positioning. It worked! My baby turned back the right way, and before I knew it we were ready to push...
Overall, I can't say enough about how positive my experience with Sara was. She was professional, calm, knowledgeable, and brought peace to the whole room. She gave me the confidence I needed to believe I could go through labor without pain medication. And without her last-second spinning babies techniques I most likely would have had a c-section.
If we have a second child I plan to hire Sara again. <3
