Testimonial for Ashleigh Pomponio CD(DONA)
I’m forever grateful to have had Ashleigh by my side for the birth of my son in August 2025. I decided pretty late in my pregnancy at 37 weeks to work with a doula, and my son was born at 39 weeks. Ashleigh hit the ground running, providing my husband and I with so many wonderful resources and being our rock as we got closer to my due date. She is warm, compassionate, and a great listener, exactly what I needed as a nervous first time mother.
When my water broke in the middle of the night, Ashleigh picked up the phone right away and helped me stay calm and decide when to go to the hospital. During labor, she was a reassuring and friendly presence. We spent a long time chatting after I got my epidural and it felt like having an old friend in the room with me.
When it came time to push, Ashleigh and I realized my epidural dosage was too high, making it hard for me to feel my contractions. Ashleigh immediately got my okay and went to ask the doctor to lower it. Without Ashleigh there, I never would have known that was something I could ask for, and probably would have been too intimidated to ask for it myself.
In the end, I was blessed to have a wonderful labor and delivery experience, and I credit so much of that to having Ashleigh there. I was able to go into it feeling more confident knowing she had my back.
Even after we brought our son home, Ashleigh still continued to check in. We were able to message her with random newborn care questions and she was always responsive and helpful. She also connected us with our lactation consultant.
Overall, I can’t recommend Ashleigh enough. If I have another baby, I will definitely want to work with her again.
