Testimonial for Rebecca Skillman
So my birth story is one for the books. My pregnancy had been very stressful. My husband was very sick in and out of the hospital since March. He was then admitted on the 10th of June. We found out he was not going to get out until he had another double lung transplant. Through out all of this I was open to her about us having to move to Durham. She said she does not really go out to Durham and set me up with another doula. Unfortunately that doula did not workout and I was open to her about this. She said I can’t make any promises because she was 2 hours away. I had started having contractions on Thursday and just kept going about my day I let her know what was going on. She told me to let her know when the contractions were getting harder. Well my husband come home from the hospital on that Saturday after being in the hospital for 2 and a half months. On that Tuesday i messaged her letting her know that the contractions were starting to be consistent and harder. She told me to head up to the hospital and that she would come up to me. I checked into the hospital at about 10pm on Tuesday. She was at the hospital around 12-1230 and stayed with me till my little one was born at 1:34 pm on that Wednesday. She made sure I kept moving, advocated for me, kept me hydrated, and used all of her tools and knowledge to keep me calm and to help me through the experience. She was absolutely amazing and with how stressful my pregnancy was to have her there to help me through the birthing process was so calming. I am not sure but maybe she can expand her area to Durham. ??
