Testimonial for Rebecca Turrigiano
Where do I start to describe the wonderful care and guidance Rebecca provided us for the birth of our second baby, but first take home baby? A couple years ago we had a late miscarriage and then struggled with fertility to conceive our second baby, who I've called our "first take home baby" since we conceived her. After dicussion, my husband and I decided we wanted a doula present to help us with the birth of our second baby. Rebecca was the first doula we interviewed and we decided on the drive home from meeting her that we didn't need to interview anybody else, she was a good fit for us. She had an immediate understanding in regard to our situation and made us feel so comfortable, we knew we would be in good hands. Since my husband and I weren't able to attend a birth class, she guided us to different resources to help us become more informed about the whole process. During our two pre-birth meetings, she asked us how our doctor appointments were going, provided guidance and support and when it came to fears related to our previous experience, she would acknowledge them and help us work through those feelings. She helped us develop our birth plan and when nothing went according to plan, she was there to support us in the decisions that had to be made. During our induction process Rebecca was knowledgeable about pain interventions and helped me and my husband work through contractions. In our meeting after the birth of our little girl via c-section, she continued to encourage us and help us process a birth that, again, was not according to plan. At the end, she reminded us, either way, we have this perfect little baby in our arms and she's healthy- that's all that matters. My husband and I have discussed over and over, how we don't know how anybody goes through the birth experience without a doula and as far as we're concerned Rebecca is the best available!
