Testimonial for Birth You Desire ® LLC
Short version:
Having Ursula provide her doula services virtually exceeded my expectations! I was nervous when the hospital changed their guidelines, but Ursula had it all figured out! I felt incredibly supported and had full access to her through all 36 hours of labor. It truly was like she was in the room with us. She was even still able to snap photos via screen shot for me and my husband!
Longer version:
I cannot thank Ursula enough for guiding my husband and me through the delivery of our first child. As hospital policy was constantly evolving, I was 38/39 weeks pregnant and hitting refresh on Sibley’s website regularly to see if my doula (and evening my husband!) were still allowed in the delivery room. Ursula checked in almost daily with updates about how the hospital was responding to COVID-19 and adjusting their policies. When we learned that the policy had been changed to either a doula or a partner, Ursula was completely un-phased. Having provided virtual doula services for years and years, she put my mind at rest with a simple “I do this all the time for clients. It really does work.” And she was absolutely correct.
Through my 36 hours of labor and pushing, Ursula’s face, voice and guidance were a constant via FaceTime. It really did feel like she was in the room with us and it was completely effective. I was nervous and, honestly a little skeptical going in, but it exceeded my expectations.
