Testimonial for Renée Pizzuto
Renee taught us so much in our classes together and always had great resources to share. She has provided evidence based research, referrals for other care that was needed for our pregnancy and guidance with any question that arose.
My water broke an entire month early on a Tuesday night. We had previously decided that we wanted to go as natural as we could and wanted a water birth at a birthing center. I could not imagine a hospital room and stuck to a bed with wires being the way we brought our baby into this world. I wanted a positive, safe and loving experience for us and our baby. And we were going to show up to our birth “with the best cupcakes!” Well, our baby had other plans because that month early was 5 days too early for a water birth allowed by the state of NJ. What a stupid rule. To the hospital we went.
Either way, Renee was there with us through it all from 2 in the morning through the following day until the evening. She helped me through the labor pains and different positions that I could go in and try. Even though it was a bit of a blur for me, She worked really well with our midwives. This was the best scenario we could have hoped for given our circumstances. So pushing through side laying, squatting, using the bar and TWO epidurals later, our daughter arrived, albeit, SIDEWAYS, but she was healthy. Renee made sure that she was able to latch right away. She gave us lots of insights on our daughter’s care that probably would’ve been dictated by western medicine without her guidance.
