Testimonial for Milla Blindauer
I met Milla at a difficult time in my pregnancy. I was not excited to have a baby; I was actually dreading becoming a Mom of two. After meeting Milla at the park and chatting for a while as my son played, her joyful spirit caused this storm cloud to burst and I finally allowed myself room to be excited. This joy lasted throughout my pregnancy. (Who you hire for your birth team matters!) Our prenatal visits were like times spent with an old friend and my husband and I looked forward to them.
The day the baby came, my midwife told me he was OP/sunny side up. (He had been this way a month ago but had then moved to a good position) —I was so disappointed and was sure I was in for a long and painful back labor like with my first son. Milla had a plan though, (!) and led me through a hip dip movement that (through ten contractions) successfully made the baby move, and the baby was not born OP.
With my first pregnancy I had time to read all the books and get mentally ready; with my second I felt unprepared because my pregnancy was spent chasing a toddler. Thankfully, Milla was prepared, and took the pressure off me throughout labor by gently recommending different labor positions.
I had a wonderful birth and wouldn’t have changed a thing. I’m so grateful I had her support and guidance from the moment she was hired. Not only do I have beautiful pictures of my birth to look back on, but a joy-filled and life changing experience to reflect on for years to come.
