Having Renee on our team for the birth of our first son was one of the best decisions we made.
Immediately, we hit it off and my husband and I knew she was “our people.
I consider myself to be pretty type A, organized, plan everything to a “T” but I knew deep down that you can only plan so much when it comes to a birth. What I did know, was that I wanted to feel as prepared as possible to ease my anxiety. And that is exactly what Renee did for my husband and I.
She has such a warm and calming way about her that you can’t help but get more excited and less anxious with every visit. She really allowed my husband to enjoy our son’s birth and not feel nervous or stressed that he had to be in control of a situation he’s never been in! And she allowed me to relax and take a breath knowing we had such an amazing teammate.
Although I ended up having some complications and my birth did not go as planned, I know without a doubt in my mind I would have been a nervous wreck without her support helping me through it each step of the way. She really gave me the confidence to speak up for myself to the nurses and doctors when I had questions or opinions. I never once felt overwhelmed and that is more than I could ever asked for.
After my son’s birth, I struggled with breastfeeding as many do. It was an extremely emotional experience for me and I almost gave up a few times. But Renee was there, even more than I could have hoped for, with love and support and reassurance that I can do this and I did!
