Testimonial for Emma Rikel
(Continued) She comes prepared with a bag of supplies which is so wonderful knowing you have lots of different coping tools if needed. She provided counter pressure all day and helped my husband to do the same. Another thing that helped SO much were the affirmations she said to me all day. I had absolutely no idea how much her words of encouragement would mean to me during each contraction. Having her with me all day just made me feel so supported, loved, and seen. My husband is everything to me and an amazing partner, but there was truly something about having Emma there that just made me feel “not alone”. For me, contractions and pushing were both SO much more intense than I ever could have imagined and because of her, I was able to labor at home for much longer than I would’ve without her.
My husband and I both agreed that I could not have gotten through my unmedicated labor without her (although she told me I could). My goal from the beginning was for an unmedicated birth and she helped me in so many ways to make it happen even when I had my internal doubts of being able to see it through.
I would recommend a doula for everyone, but especially if you want to labor at home, or want to go natural/unmedicated.
Emma was a huge answer to prayer from the beginning, and looking back it is so obvious God orchestrated the day perfectly and she was meant to be a part of it. There is no doubt she has answered her calling and I’m so grateful to her for it.
