Testimonial for CFL Doulas
Amy was my Doula for both of my children. My oldest was during the covid pandemic when she was not allowed to be with us in person during the birth. However she was readily available through phone or video chat as we needed. Even talking to the nurses and DRs while they were in the room with us. I attempted to try and deliver naturally with my oldest but being older they would not let me go past my due date so I was scheduled for an induction. After over 24 hours of labor and him not dropping I made the very emotional decision for a C-section. I have a very big phobia if those and Amy was there for me making pro and con lists and helping me come to grips with the decision I needed to bring my almost 12 lb boy into the world. Afterwards she was there to help me through post partum blues and dealing with a traumatic c section that I have no doubt she would have been able to prevent had she been allowed to be there or by phone/video during as they did not honor any of my wishes.
With my second I had some health complications and she was showing large too so we made the decision to have a scheduled C-section. Amy was there for me through all of that decision making, heartache, second guessing, and dealing with trauma from my first. Amy helped me stand up for myself and make sure my wishes were honored. Held my hand and calmed me down when I started crying and shaking in fear. She was mine and my partners rock. Again she was there post partum for me...which was not nearly as bad with the much better experience I had. In large thanks to her presence.
Amy is an amazing human who does not judge and will help support you with whatever decisions you make, even if they change late in the game as both of mine did.
