Testimonial for Rebecca Turrigiano
Rebecca was the calming presence that I needed in my delivery. I truly don't know how my husband and I would have made it through a natural delivery without her encouragement and expertise. She guided us through each phase of labor, offering various pain relief approaches and changing them when needed and showing my husband what he could do to help. She was also my voice with the nurses and doctor, working with them to help me adhere to my birth plan and find comfort without getting in the way of them doing their jobs and monitoring me.
Prior to my labor, Rebecca worked with me to make sure I was preparing myself in the best way possible to have a successful natural birth. She was full of suggestions for getting baby in position, finding comfort in those final weeks of pregnancy, keeping healthy, and making contractions productive once they started. After delivery, Rebecca made herself available to help me with newborn questions and postpartum issues.
Rebecca wasn't just a helper, or "servant" as the translation goes. The bond with her went much deeper than that. My only regret is that I didn't know Rebecca sooner to assist with my first delivery, but I will be forever grateful that I had her for my second.
