We absolutely can't recommend Ildi enough! As first time parents, Ildi helped us navigate everything from preparation for a baby, childbirth itself and postpartum. Ildi went above and beyond in helping to bring our son into the world while keeping mom and dad supported before, during and after.
Ildi's pre-baby visits were extremely helpful to understand and strategize labor basics and pain management techniques. With Ildi's help, we put together 'birth wishes' to highlight what was important to us heading into our first birth experience. While labor didn't go as planned due to an unexpected induction, Ildi was still extremely helpful at the hospital in making sure I felt comfortable and in control.
As if she wasn't already the BEST with leading up to the baby and labor support, I think where Ildi shone brightest was in her postpartum support. I was experiencing significant postpartum anxiety/depression and Ildi's visits provided advice that I needed on nursing, sleeping and general baby care.
Ildi was kind, knowledgeable, supportive, informative and nurturing - truly everything we needed for support with our firstborn. I can't imagine what the experience of being a first time mom would have looked like without her!
