Testimonial for Emily L Haver
Emily was my doula for my second birth. I had another doula in another state for my first. Emily was amazing. Her meetings beforehand were well structured, providing necessary information and thoroughly covering my expectations and desires. Throughout the whole experience, Emily did an excellent job remembering and prioritizing those wishes.
I experienced back labor both times, and Emily not only knew strategies to manage it but also to relieve it a bit. She stayed calm, confident, and focused for me the whole time, helping remind me of strategies we had practiced as well as options I had with the hospital. I had requested an epidural, but my daughter came so fast that I did not get one, and the doctor did not even make it to the room in time. Without Emily, I would have been a lot more panicked and stressed out. She was professional and warm the entire way through. She also helped guide my husband through steps he could take to support me.
Afterwards, she made sure we were settled and taken care of before taking off. Her follow-up appointment was prompt and thorough. The rundown of the timeline of labor was helpful for not only reinforcing my memories, but as a way to celebrate the experience.
