Testimonial for Matilda Lindén CD(PALS)
In the weeks since my wife gave birth to our daughter, I have tried to imagine what this experience would have been like had we not had the support of Matilda during the whole experience. Simply put, I cannot imagine it! She helped us figure out a birthplan that suited both our ideal birth and what to expect if this ideal birth somehow went a different direction. In fact, during labor, when we were told that we had some "limitations" as far as how active my wife could be, Matilda was able to help us with what this actually meant and advise us to what we actually could and could not do. This alone, we firmly believe made for a much better labor experience for both of us. Going into this, I participated in many birthing classes with my wife, and got a good picture of what I thought was going to be my role as the perfect support for her. Then it was game time, and I quickly realized that I would need at least two more of myself to fill that support role I had pictured previously in my mind leading up to the birth. Matilda more than filled in where I could not. When I could only massage my wife's head and not her back too, Matilda was an extra set of hands to do so. When I couldn't think of the correct encouraging words to say, because I couldn't imagine what my wife was feeling, Matilda knew exactly what to say and when. She also reminded us of our birth plan and what parts of it still applied to our current situation throughout the whole process. In short, Matilda is the best, and when/if we have another child, she will be there again with us!
