Testimonial for Sarah Gotlund
Sarah has been by my side for my last two births. She made all the difference in making my birth dreams come true. She empowered and guided me through TWO med free VBACs! (2019 and 2021) She's truly there for you as a person the entire pregnancy. She was there for me to vent/talk out how I was feeling, and my options about my medical decisions with gestational diabetes during pregnancy.
Once labor started for me, she became my rock. She is truly meant for this life! I remember in both of my labors just being so grateful to her. She knew what I needed before I did. Whether it was a change in position, a hand to squeeze, a towel on my neck, a fan to cool me, the perfect counter pressure on my hips, reminding me how to breathe baby down... All of it. She just knew! This took so much stress off my husband, he was able to focus on being my cheerleader and being another hand to squeeze.
Having her there made all the difference in the world. I knew she wouldn't let the staff pressure me into another c-section. I knew if it came to that then she would talk TO me and not AT me. She gave me the confidence to trust my body and the entire birthing process. I will forever be grateful for her! I honestly believe I couldn't have done it without her!
**She also offers other services as well, such as, lactation consulting, baby wearing help, and cloth diapering.
