Testimonial for Madeline Whittaker

I would not have had the pregnancy or the birth that I did without Maddie. 

She went above and beyond throughout my pregnancy, talked me through every new symptom, gave me helpful advice for everything from nausea to hemorrhoids to relationships. 

I texted her almost every day, and despite my pestering her, Maddie never stopped being an encouraging, helpful and patient friend to go through pregnancy with. 

When our labor went awry, and we found ourselves being emergently transferred to the hospital, Maddie was our rock. She helped my husband navigate the hospital parking system, guided me through pushing, and gave me the support I needed when I had absolutely given up and felt like I could not possibly continue. 

Thanks to Maddie's support, our daughter was born healthy, with minimal medical interventions, and despite the surprise transfer, our birth plan was followed. 

Maddie also helped us postpartum. She guided us through sleep training, different worries for our daughter, breastfeeding, pumping, how to handle the return to work. 

As we plan our next baby, we are already planning to ask Maddie to work with us again. We cannot imagine having done this without her help and support. I cannot recommend her highly enough, as her support made a huge difference through every part of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
