I have such a deep sense of gratitude for Diksha. She has a natural gift and exceptional skill. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to have her by my side through pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
Diksha has a network of recommended providers in the area that were so valuable to me. It's very clear that she is admired in the community. She was there for me with advice and comfort when baby was breech at 37 weeks. We got this little nugget flipped! Diksha was there to talk me out of a 3am drive to the hospital when I thought I was in labor two days too soon. Her knowledge of pain coping techniques were invaluable. The TENS is a magical distraction!
A couple weeks ago Diksha asked me what led to my successful vbac and what advice I would have for others. At the time I hadn't really processed that question but I've thought about it a lot since. Surrounding myself with strong, gifted, skilled, loving and encouraging women such as Diksha and Kay Jackson (midwife) were my biggest advantage. Even when I doubted myself, I trusted the both of them. I knew in my core that the two of them wanted me to have a vbac as much as I did.
I didn't realize how much I held onto my previous cesarean experience until I accomplished the medication free vbac I had been dreaming of!
With eternal gratitude and love,
Connie and DJ
