Testimonial for Arise Doula Collective
I met with the three doulas twice before labor, and they were super sweet and helpful as I got ready to have my baby. Then when I was in early labor, Jessica came over and supported me through contractions and directed my husband so that he could support me as well. After many hours, I ended up requesting a transfer to the hospital for an epidural, and Jordan met us at the hospital for a few hours until I was situated. After my epidural I fell asleep (I'd been in labor close to 24 hours by that point) and my baby started to experience late decels. Jessica discussed the options with my Dr as I slept, and when they woke me up due to an increase in decels, they gave me the choice between an urgent C-section or vacuum delivery, but it did have to be immediate. I had a vacuum delivery, and my little one is a happy, healthy little munchkin and I have extremely positive feelings about my labor and birth.
