Testimonial for Sunday Tortelli, AdvCD/BDT(DONA)
Hiring Sunday and Alicia as my doula team was the best decision I made for my birth. Having a previous c-section, I had a lot of fears about the birthing experience during my second pregnancy, and I hired Sunday because of her experience with VBACs. The support I received from my doulas in the months leading up to by baby girl’s birth, during the birthing experience, and afterwards was exceptional. Sunday gave me reassurance and exercises to do when I was concerned about the baby being in optimal position during the third trimester. She reassured me with her soothing voice and calm hand during labor. She encouraged me through different positions to help regulate and strengthen contractions – positions I would have never known to try. When my labor was slow, she explained to me what has happening with my contraction pattern, proving her experience and knowledge. She empowered me through the whole experience, which culminated in a successful VBAC – a feat I’m not sure I would have been able to achieve without Sunday and Alicia. Suffice it to say, I wouldn’t birth again without them.
