Testimonial for Arrity Deakin
My birthing experience with Arrity was nothing short of amazing. Actually, the birth itself was extremely difficult and unconventional, but having Arrity there saved me. Early on in my pregnancy, my partner and father of my baby and 2 children left permanently and didn't look back. Shortly after that when I was 12 weeks pregnant, I was also diagnosed with breast cancer. It was established early on that I would endure one round of chemo (safely for the baby) and then deliver at 35 weeks so that I could tackle my cancer more aggressively. Needless to say, I knew that this pregnancy and birth would be filled with many unknowns and some amount of trauma. When I asked Arrity to assist in my birth she went above and beyond to answer all my questions and do additional research on my cancer as well as my treatment. Giving birth at 35 weeks was very emotional knowing that I would give birth to a NICU baby. Adding to that stress, the morning of my induction I was diagnosed with the flu as well as rhinovirus (a cold), meaning that I would not be able to visit my baby in the NICU. The news hit me extremely hard and Arrity was supportive, knowledgeable, and got me through one of the toughest days of my life. She held my hand round the clock from the beginning to the end. She gave me advice but also followed my lead and supported all my decisions. Anyone who has Arrity at their birth should consider themselves lucky. She is an amazing woman and doula.
