Testimonial for Alyssa Sylvester
I can say enough good things or thank Alyssa enough for being my doula during my birth experience. It was my first baby, and I took Alyssa’s childbirth education class. Taking her class made me as prepared as I could be for labor. Going into birth I was aware of the different pain management options if I needed it and what all the different outcomes could be when having interventions in my birth. I wanted to hold out on getting an epidural as long as I could - or just not get one at all. During my labor I had back labor, which was not fun to say the least and having her there to help me through each contraction I managed to labor for 30 hours without getting one! I unfortunately had some complications and ended up with a c-section, but having her support was crucial for me and my partner during that as well. Things got a little scary, and she was right there reiterating and explaining what was going on and comforting me and him. A few minutes after my son was born she held and soothed him so my husband could comfort me as I was not feeling well during the end of the surgery. I really don’t know how I would’ve managed without her psychically or emotionally- the girl knows what she’s doing and is so passionate about supporting others. I am forever thankful to have her there during my birthing experience.
