Testimonial for Heidy Ramirez
Heidy is amazing! I had planned an unmedicated vaginal birth at a birth center at NYP. Heidy was very helpful in prepping us and making us feel comfortable in her initial consultations. As my due date grew near, she checked on me often via phone and text. In the end, I had a cesarean section due to risk factors associated with the fetal heart rate and rupture of my membranes with no progression into active labor. My midwives did all they could to help induce labor to avoid a c-section. This was a painful and emotionally trying time, but Heidy provided excellent emotional and physical support. She helped us get through 24 hours of induction attempts, provided physical comfort through massage and other touch-based methods, helped me cope with painful contractions, and helped us understand the risk factors and possible ways forward in our birth as described by our midwife, when things did not go as planned. I felt 100% comfortable around Heidy in my home and at the hospital. She was an essential force at our birth and I am pleased at how it happened, despite being so different than what I expected. I should also mention she was a big help to my husband, who took a much needed nap while Heidy stayed up with me through the night. Highly recommended!
