I will never be able to fully express how thankful I am to have had Milla's support during my pregnancy/delivery of my first baby. Milla helped us craft our perfect birth plan and answered all of our questions as we navigated pregnancy and prepared for labor. She was encouraging and really boosted our confidence as we neared the due date. However, Milla really proved herlsef to be invaluable as my due date came and went. The perfect birth plan was unraveling before our eyes and it became a very emotional, stressful, and scary time. While Milla could not give me the birth that I dreamed of, she helped me to navigate and feel good about the birth my baby chose for me. We spent a lot of time together between weeks 40-42 of my pregnancy working through many induction methods which ended in a 48 hour labor filled with deviations from 'the plan'. Milla was always able to read me and provide just the right type of support - when I was scared she held my hand, when I needed to be distracted she joked with me/lightend the mood, when I needed to cry or vent she let me do so without judgment, when I was exhausted she helped find the strength to push through, when I needed to relax she was a source of tranquility, when I needed encouragement she gave it, and her physcal stregth helped support my body through a very long labor. And she did all of this while advocating for me constantly and making sure my husband was also rested/supported. And she did this for 48hours non-stop! Milla has this inner physical/mental strength and focus that she is able to tap into which is unlike anything I have seen before. This makes her an absolute asset to any birth team. I'm not going to lie, things got pretty crazy/stressful at times, but because of her, my husband and I were able to process the events with acceptance and keep our minds calm as we brought our beautiful baby into the world.
