Testimonial for Rachel Ogea
There are only so many words one can use to describe a birth experience like the one I had with Rachel by my side. Coming back from a traumatic C-section experience with my last pregnancy, I was desperate for a natural birth this time around. Despite the nurse on my service in the delivery room forcing me to stay in the bed when I wanted to be up and moving, Rachel adapted and continued to use different pain management techniques with me to keep going without pain meds. She got me in touch with a substitute doula while she was out of town and I was experiencing prodromal labor, which I appreciated. And she kept the emotions in the delivery room at a very peaceful calm level (even though I was screaming with every contraction). She helped me breathe through them, she applied pressure during them, she prayed with me and my husband, and without her I can definitively say I would not have had the positive experience I did with the birth of this rainbow baby. I can't possibly thank you enough, Rachel, for being there. For the flowers you brought each visit, for the frozen dinner after our baby was born, for the help you gave me during labor, for empowering me to make it all the way to the finish line and finally have the redeeming birth experience I'd been praying for. You are one of a kind and I'm so beyond thankful for everything. Words really do no justice to the overwhelming gratitude I feel in my heart every time I look at my baby. He is a constant reminder of the goodness of God, and I wouldn't have had the experience with him I did if it weren't for you. So thank you. A million times, thank you.
