Testimonial for Emily Wannenburg
I had taken Emily's hypnobirthing, birth ball & post partum fitness class for my son & daughter. My first, I had naturally but experienced a pelvic separation. I waited years to have my second & after rehab, switching OBGYNs & hospitals, I felt ready. Going into my second birth I knew it was important to have a birth team that understood my previous birth issue and how to mitigate it from happening in the future. I was placed in the hospital early after popping high blood pressure multiple times and was able to have my water broken/induced without medicine. My doula I hired was part of a doula group with Emily and Emily happen to be her back up. My doula had another client put into the hosptial at the same time so Emily was called in to tag team with my doula to ensure both of us mamas had the support we needed. This team was unbelievable as they briefed each other on what was going on/needed.
Emily is an unbelievable doula ensuring 1. the induction could be tried naturally pending any spikes in blood pressure 2. The monitors were set up (and stayed on me) & not giving the nurses incorrect data 3. My birth ball was set up safely & helped me to try different movements to move things along/provide comfort. 4. I was hydrated, had my honey sticks 5. Minimized my back labor with the double hip squeeze (best thing EVER) & pressure/massage on my sacrum. Without this, I would have had a hard time with my natural birth since I had the aid of a tub with my first. She also got my hubby involved which is a huge deal since he is very quesy and did not get involved with the first birth. 6. I labored on all fours and delivered side lying/legs not spread wide to help not repeat my first birth injury.
I would highly recommend Emily as your doula as she is caring, knowlegable, calming and a wonderful person who will support you in the birth you would like.
