Testimonial for Birth You Desire ® LLC
Ursula is an extremely experienced and knowledgeable doula, which will serve any client who works with her well. Shw was extremely responsive and proactive throughout my pregnancy, responding immediately to provide support as I worried about my blood pressure and practical tools to help me manage it. This was my second birth and while I loved the doula/s I worked with for my first, I felt that Ursula provided a much higher level of proactive, extremely organized information throughout the process to support moms in having the healthiest pregnancies and deliveries possible. I really appreciated her deep knowledge of natural and alternative remedies and the organization with which she shared information. She was there for me many times to calm my nerves and offer emotional support, months before I went into labor. Ursula has great knowledge of the hospital where I delivered (GW) and knows the nurses and midwives well. That insider knowledge allows her to navigate the hospital extremely well - she advocated for me to get a delivery room while we were waiting in triage because she knew I was close, and she saw that the nurse was overwhelmed and therefore not reading my cues as well as she normally would. I might have delivered in triage if not for her advocacy. She was also able to adjust my sacrum when she arrived at the hospital - her knowledge of the birthing body allows her to provide pro support like that easily. Ursula assisted the nurses and midwife more than I knew a doula could - she acted like a nurse/midwife's assistant, and given how busy the hospital was the day I delivered, it benefeitted me in terms of the care I received and also the nureses and midwife who attended to me because they were overloaded and needed the extra support. Lastly, I had expressed a desire to Ursula to feel my baby's head as it was coming out for this second birth of mine, and she made that happen for me.
