Testimonial for Cydney Martineau
It’s hard to know how to even begin this review of Cydney. She was everything I wanted her to be and everything I didn’t know I needed. This was my first successful pregnancy. We conceived our babe through IVF. It was just so important to me to have the most supported pregnancy and birth possible. Cydney answered any question I had via text - no matter how silly I felt like my question could be. The home classes were such a highlight to my week. Being pregnant during a pandemic is so lonely and isolating, the opposite of what you dream it to be, so having Cydney there made me feel happy and less alone in the journey. By the end of my pregnancy I was so happy that we had taken the plunge and hired a doula. But I didn’t even realize how much a doula does from early labour to postpartum! I was in early labour for a few days. Finally after 3 stretch and sweeps and 3 midwives brews - I was in active labour! It was a long and hard process. We had planned a home birth. Cydney applied pressure for HOURS. This is probably why she is in such great shape! Haha. After 7-8 hours of active labour, I just couldn’t take it anymore. I never envisioned transferring to the hospital especially during this time but I had the full support of both my midwife and Cydney. Cydney was amazing and even followed the ambulance from my house to the hospital. She continued to be by my side through the 2 agonizing hours of pushing, breastfeeding my son for the first time, using the washroom after my stitches were done, helping me out of the shower, helping me get dressed, fishing through my suitcase for baby items and even suggesting the kind of text to send my sister because I was exhausted. She was even by my side as we left the hospital that same day just 4 hours after the birth. Postpartum she continued to be a great help to both my husband and I. On our 1st visit after baby she surprised me with a bag of goodies and my sons birth story! I love Cydney!
