Testimonial for Patricia Alatriste
Hello my name is Jessica and I recently had my second child in June. My goal for this birth was to be VBAC and thankfully my husband and I were blessed with a wonderful support team that included Patricia at our side.
When the time finally arrived for our son to make his debut, I called Patricia and in her sweet calm voice she reassured and guided me as to what to do. When we felt it was time to go see our midwife at our birth center, Patricia was right there with us. While in labor Patricia helped me get through my contractions with massage and focusing on how to breathe into my contractions. She also helped us get into different positions to help baby and I, and kept our atmosphere calm and panic free.
With nearly 12 hours of laboring, sadly my labor was not going the way I hoped and I still had not dilated at all. My midwife gave us several different options which included going the hospital. My husband and I were beyond exhausted. I wanted to be done and I wanted to see my baby. Patricia talked me through everything answered all our questions and let me know that whatever I decided she was there for me. She wanted me to feel empowered in my decision and to do what I felt is best for our family.
I chose to go to the hospital and on the way there I decided that I would do another cesarean. Patricia was with us at the hospital and walked my husband through what was going to happen during the surgery. The awesome part was that she was able to be in the operation room with us. She not only spent the entire day helping us bring our baby into the world she also helped document the entire day with beautiful pictures. If my husband and I decide to have another baby we would love to have Patricia by our side again. Patricia is nothing less than wonderful!
