I had a medically nesessary scheduled cesarean. I had originally desired a natural birth and hoped to have as much support prior and post delivery in hopes I might feel more connected to my body, the process of giving birth and breast feeding. I wanted to create an environment that reminded me of the miracle that had just taken place and not feel quite as sterile in a hospital environment. We asked Rachel to be part of that support system for us. She arrived post birth as we had planned and walked me through advise on breast feeding and encouraged me as a new Mama. It was very helpful and reassuring. We planned on having her come to the house as support post my husband returning to work but I recovered so quickly we did not end up requiring further assistance. She did make herself available via phone and text for questions and checked in with me a number of times. I am very thankful for her services!
