Testimonial for Patricia Alatriste
On February 23, 2016 I gave birth to my beautiful son. Since he is my first child, I had no idea what to expect or reference when it came to labor pain. I had every intention of trying to give birth naturally however, I didn't want to completely commit to that. :) When I went into labor, Patricia was available by phone, even though it was about 3AM and it wasn't long before she was at my house helping me through contractions. As the contractions became more intense, Patricia was talking me through them, helped me breathe through them, and found pressure points to help ease the pain. I even remembering sharing a special moment with her as I realized that I would be meeting my son VERY soon.
When it was time to go to the hospital, she never left my side. Knowing that she has a family of her own, I was truly grateful that she remained by my side. As contractions got worse, Patricia kept her hand under my back to apply pressure to the pressure points to help me through the pain. I still don't know how she kept up the strength to do that because baby and I were not light. :) Even though I could no longer hold out with the pain and got the epidural, Patricia stayed at my side until it was time to push.
Because of Patricia, I was able to see my son being born as she suggested a mirror be help up. I feel my labor and delivery went smooth BECAUSE of Patricia. Her energy and voice were so soothing during moments of chaos and I truly believe I was able to get through it all because of her. Even after delivery, she stayed to help me begin my nursing journey. She helped my son latch on right after birth because Lord knows, I could barely keep my eyes open. :)
I am truly blessed and grateful to have had Patricia there for me during labor, delivery, and after delivery. THANK YOU!!! :)
