Testimonial for Alexandra Blanchard, CD, CBC
We worked with Alexandra during my pregnancy with my son in 2018/2019. The sessions leading up to the birth were informative and helpful, and she was able to work with our schedules (my husband was completing his medical residency and had almost no flexibility) in ways that other birth or labor classes could not. Our birth experience ended with a stalled labor and a c-section, but Alexandra was with us every step of the way. She made magazine and food runs or stayed with me if my husband had to step away, so I was never alone during my labor. She helped me cope with pitocin contractions (ouch!), and allowed me to delay an epidural for much longer than I would have been able to without her support. When we were moved from our labor room to the OR, she collected all of our belongings and moved them to the recovery area, so my husband could stay with me. Her post-partum support and the resources she provided for breastfeeding were also excellent.
Alexandra has a calm and easygoing demeanor, will provide you with useful resources and hands-on and informative teaching, and meets your needs at every stage of pregnancy, labor and delivery, and post-partum. I can't recommend her highly enough.
