Testimonial for Teresa Vittorioso-Fortin C-FSD (BADT), BCCE, CLE
I met Teresa when I arrived to the hospital to give birth already 5 cm dislated. My original doula had an emergency and couldn't make it to my daughter's birth. Teresa made me feel at ease from the moment she called while we were on our way to the hospital. I was already in active labor and a lot of pain. She got right to the point in a respectful compassionate way that just made me feel like she knew what she was doing, and even though she didn't know me at all she was going to take care of me.
During the birth she helped in so many ways. She helped me move, she kept me hydrated, she encouraged me, she told my husband how he could be helpful, she worked with the nurse and midwife, she narrated what was going on when I was kind of out of it, she knew my birth plan, she spoke in my husband's native language, she took notes and photos so we could remember this amazing experienc, she was just my absolute reassurance. All the birth team at Mt. Auburn was fantastic and thankfully the midwife and nurse were very open to the role of a doula. I was able to have an unmedicated birth in a tub, just like I had planned. It was so hard, but Teresa made me feel like I could do it and it was awesome!
I will forever be grateful for her stepping in at the last moment to be my advocate. I would recommend her a thousand times. Thank you, Teresa!
