Testimonial for Shaman Tomecas, CHD(The Matrona)

I'm a first time mom and I wanted to hire a doula to help my husband and I with positions during labor. However, with hiring Tomecas I got a lot more. Before I even went into labor, she helped me with coping during the last trimester of my pregnancy. She walked with me, she kept in constant communication with me, she coached me and encouraged me as I went through that last month of pregnancy aches and pains. When my labor finally began, she came to the hospital and stayed with us until after my baby was born. Having her there was a great comfort. My delivery was a bit complicated, and it helped to have someone there with a background in labor and delivery to stay with me all the time because the nurses are in and out. Her presence helped my husband as well. He took cues from her in how to help me manage my pain and in how to hold my legs during the delivery stage. Thank you Tomecas for being a part of the birth of our baby boy!
