Testimonial for Adrianne Buyer
Going into the birth of my first, I was afraid and didn't know what to expect. I knew we needed more support, but I didn't feel comfortable having friends or family in the delivery room. It was important to me to have a positive birthing experience as I knew I'd remember it for the rest of my life. I also had a lot of other stuff going on in my personal life leading up to birth, so I felt I needed an expert in the room to help me navigate the medical process.
So, I reached out to Adrianne. When first meeting her, we talked and talked and I could tell her calming presence and confidence would be a great counterbalance to my uncertainty and my anxious feelings.
Throughout all of our prenatal meetings, she was encouraging and you could tell she valued meeting me where I was at, and gauging what was important to me so she could honor my wishes. Our discussions made me really think through my feelings and thoughts in ways I hadn't considered before, which in turn helped me prepare for the process.
For example, I know a lot of people would be interested in a fully natural birth and even though I wanted to hold off on the epidural as long as I could throughout labor so that I could labor naturally, I wanted to eventually get it in the end so I could be more present and calm when I met my child for the first time.
Adrianne was incredibly supportive and helpful throughout the entire process. My birth didn't entirely go as I hoped as I ultimately had to be induced, but she was there with me every step of the way, offering insights, knowledge and other resources to help me navigate through each turn. She was even there for me postpartum, continuing to check in on me and help out after everything was said and done. I appreciated everything she did for me. Thank you Adrianne!
