Testimonial for Bianca Gandarias
Bianca has been an amazing asset for me this pregnancy and I am so thankful to have her by my side. Her passion is truly felt in our interactions and she is so dedicated to making sure I feel confident throughout my second pregnancy. I did not have a doula for my daughter’s birth two years ago, and ended up with a terrible first birth experience including a failed induction and sepsis post c-section. Bianca has taken all of this to heart and has made me feel seen and heard, which I really needed. She is responsive, extremely easy to talk to, well-informed and comforting. Her input helped me make several big decisions like which birth class to take, which provider(s) to go with for the birth experience I want, and what to include in my birth wishes to ensure I am comfortable with the possibilities.
Bianca’s nutritional background has also come in clutch for me because I unfortunately have gestational diabetes this pregnancy. Her food recommendations and guidance have been such an added bonus to help me adjust my diet. It is so helpful (and unique) to have a support person who has the knowledge and education to help me with my GDM! She has recommended some yummy snacks and recipes I never would have thought of or even known existed. I’ve also experienced some inconsistent guidance related to GDM and VBACs from the OB practice I go to, and Bianca has tapped into a lot of networks that she has to give me useful inputs on things like induction, etc.
Thanks to Bianca, I am finally feeling informed, supported and prepared for my 2nd birth, no matter what happens. It is going to be a much different experience for me and I am so excited to have Bianca by my side! If you are looking for someone who will advocate for you, listen to you and be your partner – she is it!
