Testimonial for Heidy Ramirez
I am delighted to offer only the highest recommendation for Heidy. She was an indispensable part of my birth team.
Pregnancy: Since our first call with Heidy she was kind and competent. I'd text her regularly about a variety of things (i.e., nausea, stress, heartburn, what should I get on baby registry, etc.) and Heidy always responded promptly. Not only was she responsive but she was so loving, especially in the moments I needed it the most.
Labor/delivery: My water broke around 8am but contractions did not start and my doctor talked about inducing labor relatively soon. Heidy helped me try to incude labor natrually throughout the day. She also checked on me regularly and reassured me that even if we had to induce labor, that everything would be fine and reminded me that I would meet my precious little one soon enough. At around 1am I was started on pitocin and Heidy was right there with me. Since 1am till 9am when I had the baby, Heidy worked with me through every contraction...from messages, essential oils, ensuring I was drinking watter/juice, coaching me through contractions, checking on my partner, etc. Heidy also encouraged me to labor on the toilet and I am certain that my labor progressed quickly because of that. I am also 100% sure that I would not have been able to birth my baby natrually, with no pain meds, with pitocin without Heidy. She kept me focused and reassured throughout the process and I had an amazing experience even with the pitocin.
Postpartum: Heidy visited me the week following my birth to see how things were going emotionally, healing wise, breastfeeding, etc. It was at this visit that she noticed my baby had both tongue and lip tie which explained why my nipples were cracked and bleeding. After seeing a specialist she recommended to correct the issue, breastfeeding became much less painfiul!
Can't thank Heidy enough! We love her and she will forever be a part of our family.
