Testimonial for Milla Blindauer
From the very first time we spoke with Milla and Melinda, I was thrilled! I absolutely loved that they were a power team, with Milla and Melinda both bringing their experiences and backgrounds to the prenatal sessions. Milla was informative and open minded when we built out our birth plan. I had wanted to stay as unmedicated as possible during labor, with the flexibility to pivot to an epidural if needed. I never once felt judged for any of my preferences or desires while working with her.
I can never say enough good things about how Milla cared for me, and my husband, during our long delivery! She was calm and patient with me while we tried allll the different positions. We pushed, moved, stretched, bathed, and she was the perfect doula for the job. She worked so very hard to help me have our baby girl. She stayed by our side for 37 hours of unmedicated labor. She made sure my husband was instructed and confident in his ability to support me physically and emotionally. And made sure he was fed and cared for himself! Milla helped me be clear what the doctors and nurses were communicating, especially while I was exhausted and brain muddled. She advocated my wishes and decisions to the doctors, so when I was the most out of it, I knew and was confident I was being cared for the way I wanted to be cared for.
Doula care may not be for everyone. But I generally prefer to surround myself with knowledgeable and experienced professionals when I know I need the support. And Calm and Confident Doulas, Melinda and Milla, were the perfect choice for my family. If/when we have more children in the future, I know I will be eager to have Milla and Melinda as my doula support once again!!
