Testimonial for Rhonda Fellows
Rhonda from Oily Doula has been an incredible support throughout my pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum journey. As an OBGYN provider, I thought I had a solid understanding of what to expect during my third child's birth, especially since I didn’t work with a doula for my first two. My only exposure to doulas was through my patients, where I witnessed the remarkable support they provided.
When I became pregnant with my third child, I wanted to experience that support for myself. I decided to set aside my OBGYN hat and embrace the role of a patient, allowing Rhonda to guide me. I am truly grateful for that choice.
I learned so much more than I anticipated, as Rhonda presented information in ways that challenged my typical OBGYN perspective. I believe every woman, regardless of her background, should consider working with a doula. They are invaluable for navigating childbirth and ensuring you have the birth experience you desire. Even if things don’t go as planned, a doula like Rhonda helps you regroup and appreciate your efforts.
Rhonda was by my side during my labor, which lasted about 28 hours. She provided unwavering support, encouragement, and reassurance that I was doing everything I needed to do. At times, she felt like a close friend, which made the experience special. Her dedication significantly impacted my journey.
The postpartum care was exceptional. Rhonda prepared nourishing soups and engaged in heartfelt conversations that made me feel at ease. I feel incredibly lucky to have had this experience with her.
I wholeheartedly recommend Rhonda and encourage anyone considering a doula to reach out to her. This experience was eye-opening, even for someone in the OB world, and I am so grateful for Rhonda's support.
