Testimonial for Veronica Bloemeke
Veronica was an incredible source of support throughout my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. We started working with her early in pregnancy, and from the beginning she was calm, responsive, and invested in helping us feel prepared.
During pregnancy, we met several times and she taught us practical comfort measures we could use, including stretches, positioning, and hands-on techniques my husband could do to support me (hip squeezes, supported belly, etc.). She also helped me prepare postpartum kits and joined us for a meeting with our lactation consultant, which was so helpful. I always felt comfortable reaching out by text, especially after third-trimester appointments, and she consistently offered reassurance.
My labor was long and difficult (over 60 hours) and did not go as planned. Veronica was by my side through it all, offering encouragement, suggesting position changes and comfort measures, and helping me stay hydrated and nourished with small but meaningful things like water, ice, snacks and popsicles. She also did an amazing job supporting my husband by giving him clear, practical ways to help so he felt confident and involved throughout the process.
My birth ultimately ended in a C-section, which was not what we had envisioned, and Veronica continued to support us with care. She stayed with us through the surgical process, helped my husband understand what to expect before entering the OR, and when my husband and baby needed to go to the NICU for a period of time, she stayed with me so I was not alone.
After birth, Veronica checked on us frequently, especially while we were still in the hospital and visited once we were home. I am deeply grateful for her steady, compassionate presence through an intense and unpredictable experience. I would recommend Veronica wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a doula who is both practical and deeply supportive.
