Testimonial for Fiona Kavanaugh
I am new to the Houston area. When I became pregnant with my 3rd boy, I was so overwhelmed by the choices involved with pregnancy in such a large city! Which doctor? Which hospital? Which photographer? Where should I go for a good prenatal massage? Etc. I also knew I wanted to have an unmedicated hospital birth, which I had not done before. I found Fiona & it was the best decision I made to hire her! She helped me switch doctors mid pregnancy when I knew the one I had found on my own was not a good fit. She helped me weigh the pros and cons of different hospitals. Most importantly, she helped me through my very first fully unmedicated birth. She was an amazing support person for both myself & my husband. We both agree working with her helped make this birth truly so special. She helped me stay accountable during my pregnancy - making sure I was taking care of myself in ways that would support a healthy pregnancy and smooth birth. She helped me find places that provided quality prenatal massages & acupuncture. She helped me cope mentally with having an over due baby - because ugh lol! She also told me about services my insurance provided that I didn't even know about - like a lactation consultant that would come to my house. She even helped me find a photographer for baby / family pictures. Fiona made my birth experience better by preparing me in advance for what my particular hospital would provide, what things I should ask for / insist on, what room I should request and even had names of nurses to ask for if they were available during my delivery. Hiring a doula, especially Fiona, was by far the best decision I made in my 3 pregnancy experiences. She helped advocate for me and my baby throughout my entire pregnancy, helped me reach my goals - and did so with such kindness, humor and thorough knowledge that made me feel confident and prepared. I can't recommend her enough!
