Testimonial for Rebecca Wender
Rebecca went above and beyond as a doula. She met with us multiple times before labor to discuss what our goals and concerns were for birth. She was easy to talk to and gave her extremely knowledgeable input without being pushy or trying to sway us into specific decisions.
When it came time for my husband and I to go to the hospital, our initial plan of avoiding induction went out the window due to unexpected gestational hypertension. Without Rebecca’s support, I would have felt far more concerned, confused and scared by the medical interventions the doctors and nurses were suggesting. Rebecca was immediately available on the phone. She wasted no time in helping us assess the situation and develop a new game plan that we felt good about. She came to the hospital and was there in-person with us for three days. None of us expected labor to last that long, but having Rebecca there made us feel like we had a strong advocate who understood the ins and outs of all the new information and terminology being thrown our way.
Rebecca was truly a positive presence in the room. She had the best smelling massage oil and very relaxing Brian Eno playlists. Rebecca knew that it was important to me that I avoid a C-section unless absolutely necessary, and she spoke up on my behalf to countless nurses, doctors and midwives. She worked so well with every medical professional we encountered, and she never added an ounce of tension or stress to the process.
Rebecca respected my wish that my husband be my main support person during my labor, and she was able to constantly center us during the process. I loved having Rebecca as a guiding force while we weathered the journey of labor and am so glad she was there to help my husband and I usher my daughter into the world. Even in the moment, my husband and I were acutely aware that my birth experience could and likely would have been far scarier and more stressful without Rebecca.
