Testimonial for Rachel Ogea
I can't even put into words how much of an impact Rachel made on my wife's birth experience. We planned a home birth, but had to switch to hospital birth last minute. Hospital nurses are not the most accepting of dulas so this can make things extremely challenging. I called Rachel at 2am the night my wife went into labor and she answered the phone in a happy mood and met us at the hospital right away. Rachel was A+ at getting the nurses in a friendly mood then respectfully controlling the room in a way that allowed my wife to do more than just lay on her back and push. She kept the energy positive and always had something new we could try to progress the labor. One thing that was extremely important going into birth was that my wife did not want to an epidural. Rachel had our birth plan memorized and when my wife was in her weakest moment and begging for an epidural Rachel helped me buy time from the nurses and coach my wife through the pain. Ultimately we had a natural birth with no epidural. I can only imagine how much more smooth our birth would have been if we had a home birth with Rachel. She's a true pro. She is to the birth experience what Tom Brady is to football. No matter where my wife and I go in life we have decided that we will do everything in our power to make sure we can birth all of our children with Rachel's help.
