Testimonial for Aneke Roach LM/CPM, doula, monitrice, IBCLC, CB educator,
I feel so lucky to find Aneke as my birth doula. As a first time mom, I'm nervous about everything related to pregnancy and delivery. And Aneke, with her experience and warm personality, is the professional I can trust to help me.
When I first met Aneke in my 32 weeks, my baby was breech. If I couldn't get him flipped, I needed to have a C-section, which I was so freaked out about. On the first office visit, Aneke gave me lots of advices on how to flip a breech baby, also eased my mind and told me there's a procedure called ECV which the physician can try to flip the baby on and after 37 weeks, she also gave me recommendation of physicians who are good at it from her experience, I appreciate all of it. As my little one didn't want to flip by himself, I ended up an ECV with my own OB. Aneke accompanied me during the 5 hour long period and her encouragement and help with changing positions during my ECV helped me succeed! I couldn’t be so brave if she was not there.
Then my labor didn’t start spontaneously so I ended up with the induction labor in my 41 weeks. Aneke accompanied me in the hospital with the active labor and the final delivery. I gained a lot of confidence from her encourangement. She also took photos of our precious moments.I’m happy to have a smooth delivery and thanks so much for her accompaniment.
During the postpartum visit, she gave me tips on breastfeeding, helped check myself and the baby, and also brought me several placenta paints which are precious gifts for my first baby.
I have too much to say about my experience with Aneke and I just feel I couldn’t express my gratefulness more with all the words. Thank you for reading all my words.
TLDR: Aneke is the best birth doula! Recommend to everyone, especially for the first time mom!
