Testimonial for Rebecca Wender
Choosing Rebecca as my doula was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy. Rebecca is a fundamentally kind, warm, empathetic, informed, receptive and grounded person who helped me navigate my pregnancy and birth plan (or lack thereof) with ease. I had a lot of anxiety around birth and was very open to medication/ C-section/ induction as long as the baby was safe. I was worried that a doula might pressure me to go a more "natural" route. Rebecca struck a perfect balance of both supporting my decisions and offering an alternative perspective to that of my very pro-induction, pro-medical intervention hospital. When I was induced and went into labor, Rebecca showed up at 3:00 am with a salami sandwich (my request) in hand. She helped me through contractions, rubbed essential oils on my ankles and chatted with me once the epidural kicked in. When I tearfully decided to go ahead with a C-section after 3 hours of pushing, Rebecca was there for me. She was also there right after to help me nurse for the first time, and took my placenta to a friend of hers to turn into capsules! She followed up with a visit after and has been in touch since. I am now so grateful to consider her a friend. I cannot recommend her enough!
