Testimonial for Sidsie Rubow
Sidsie and I had a whirlwind of an experience! When we first met she made me feel comfortable, it felt like meeting a friend for coffee, which was exactly what I was looking for. I didn't want just anyone to be there for my baby's birth, and I wanted someone who would make me comfortable, confident and show me and my partner tricks that maybe we hadn't heard of or tried. I also wanted to make sure that my partner felt supported as well and was comfortable as well. Anyways, Sidsie and I had to jump right into things 3 days later when my water broke early at 37 weeks. She supported me all day by checking in and offering advice and answering questions I had - she offered to come see me at home during early labor but it was a nasty snow storm so I told her we'd meet when I'd progressed enough to go to the birth center. Once we got to the center my labor was fast and she was there to support me and Spencer, she literally held my leg when I couldn't, I never had to ask for water and she showed Spencer how he could support me too when he was overwhelmed or unsure. She helped us capture photos and videos that I will cherish forever and she stayed awhile after to help encourage us with breastfeeding. All while never stepping too much into the precious newborn air that we were soaking up as a new family of 3. I am 11 days postpartum now and I've been in touch with her almost daily, she's sent me beautiful quotes and looked up answers to questions, sent me contacts and resources for breastfeeding support and always offered genuine support. Like I said our relationship was a whirlwind, and I'm grateful she's the one who helped us brave the storm and cross the finish line. All of my hopes for this birth were fulfilled and Sidsie was a big part of that.
