Services families mention
“With a due date one week after the shelter in place order came down, I was devastated that I would not be able to have Ilka physically attend me during my labor at the hospital.”
What families say
Ilka is very knowledgeable, compassionate, supportive, patient and caring. We are so glad to have met her. At 37 weeks, we found that our baby turned breech. We were quiet worried as it was very late in my pregnancy and we weren't able to find any help to flip the baby naturally due to holiday season.
With a due date one week after the shelter in place order came down, I was devastated that I would not be able to have Ilka physically attend me during my labor at the hospital. However, Ilka quickly brainstormed and helped us implement alternatives, including remote support through video calls.
We are so grateful that Ilka was with us through our first birth. Even with abundant preparation, it is impossible for first-time parents to adequately prepare for the birthing experience. To have Ilka as our guide was ideal. She was there for us every step of the way.
