I met with Albina Kozlov towards the end of my pregnancy with my second baby. I had an IUGR pregnancy, my baby was in breech position & was measuring very small, below the 2nd percentile. We had a lot of decisions to make to bring her into this world. Albina helped us in so many ways to make an informed decision, with absolutely no pressure or judgement. She had a huge calming presence when we received so much difficult news in such a short span of time. Having a doula that can help you make the right decision was so important to us. We ultimately made the decision to have the safest, most peaceful delivery via c-section at 37 weeks gestation. We were well educated of all the risks AND all success rates for IUGR cases. We also were informed on the risks and success rates on doing the ECV procedure to flip our baby that was IUGR. With all of this information, it made our decision making far clearer & we knew exactly what our hearts were at peace with moving forward. Come to find out after her birth that we made every decision perfectly according to the well being of our baby & I know I couldn't have made these choices without the help of Albina's expertise and research. She was nearby the entire time, created a peaceful calm environment amidst all of the anxiety, I truly don't know how I would've done it without her. After the birth of my daughter, my husband left to be with her in the nicu & Albina didn't leave my side until I felt comfortable enough & she had left me to rest until my baby & I were reunited. No matter the route you go, whether it's a vaginal birth or cesarean, booking with Albina will ultimately transform your birth in every way. I look back at the birth I was so scared for & only have amazing memories. She was my ultimate support, my advocate & a wonderful addition to my delivery.
