Testimonial for Nicole Peters
We hired Nicole for the birth of our first child after interviewing a handful of local doulas. We were not disappointed: her prenatal meetings helped us flesh out our birth plan, understand the many scenarios that could happen, and helped us figure out what we should be doing in the last few weeks of pregnancy to prepare for labor. Then when our water broke she helped support us at home as labor picked up and then assisted with our transition to the hospital. As per our plan, she worked with us to focus on non-medication pain relief for as long as I wanted (tens machine, positions, counter pressure, movement, etc.) both at home and then at the hospital. These were effective for the first 24 hrs. When we had to speed up labor for medical reasons, she was very supportive during and after an epidural placement. Both myself and my husband appreciated her assistance. I am content with how my labor went, and attribute a lot of that to her support and guidance. A side benefit that we didn't think we cared about is that we surprisingly are happy to have the many birth photos she took! Would recommend for both unmedicated or medicated labor goals at home or at a hospital.
