Testimonial for Birth You Desire ® LLC
We received great guidance over the phone on possible options of labor and what we were looking for in terms of signs. Ursula gave us the option to call her as many times in the night as we needed. Ursula checked in with us all day to see how things were progressing all while updating our midwives. Just as Ursula said, the contractions came around 4ish and started to come more frequently around 6. When we asked her to come over, she arrived within 25 min (MD to DC midtown) and immediately calmed my wife down as I got ready to go. We immediately got in the car and made it over to GW with Ursula following and she updated the midwives on the way. We had to park a couple blocks away and Ursula helped us navigate the busy streets and get to the hospital all while my wife had 5 contractions. In the hospital, Ursula got us into the delivery room. I wanted to take an active part in the birth and Ursula was there to help me with techniques to help my wife through this difficult time. She was very respectful of when to chime in and when to let me and my wife surrender to the experience. She was incredibly helpful in the delivery process and had a great working relationship with the entire birthing team. Once the baby was born Ursula was great in helping my wife overcome her shell shock and immediately helped my daughter to latch onto my wife’s breast while the midwives were finishing up. Ursula was one of the last people to leave our sides as the birth came to an end. The follow up consultation was great, Ursula came to our house a couple of days after we got home from the hospital and was very helpful answering all of our lingering questions that we didn’t know to ask while still at the hospital. I would give Ursula’s service an A++ rating and would definitely recommend her to anyone.
