Testimonial for Renée Pizzuto
(Continued from above) When I was pushing (for over two hours) I remember looking up and feeling surrounded by love - there was my husband, Renee, two amazing nurses and my doctor and somehow I got through. Renee also took pictures for us as my son was coming into the world - it was her idea to do this and I am SO grateful to her because I will treasure those pictures forever (I didn't think I wanted pictures but I am so incredible happy that we have them). After the baby was born they took him away because he had swallowed some stuff on his way out and my husband felt comfortable leaving me with Renee so he could go with our baby - I was never alone because of Renee and we were both so grateful for that - it was just another wonderful reason to give birth with an amazing doula as part of your team! There are so many little things you never think about before you give birth which were made easier because we had Renee with us - from my husband being able to drop us off at the front of the hospital while he parked the car to him never having to stop holding my hand to take pictures to the truly amazing post delivery support that was provided - I truly can't imagine giving birth without Renee there to help! Renee was amazing during labor and afterwards! She tried to get my baby to latch right after he was born which didn't go well but she never gave up - and she did everything she could to help me not give up. She came and visited us the day after we got home from the hospital and told us she thought he might have a tongue tie. We immediately went to an IBCLC who verified that our baby had both a lip and tongue tie which needed to be corrected. We are really thankful to Renee for helping us learn about this immediately so that we could get it fixed for him - and as early as possible in his little life. I am very grateful and happy that we had Renee with us - her help throughout labor and delivery - and post partum was really special!
