Testimonial for Brooke Tuggle
We’ve been so excited to write our review for Brooke! I wanted an unmedicated birth just like with our first baby. Things got very rocky and I was told I needed an emergency c-section, when I arrived to the OR they assessed me one more time and I ended up having a vaginal birth. Brooke was with us every step of the way. We were following my unmedicated birth plan amazingly for 8 hours. Every time I was asked a question and I couldn’t answer or she heard hesitation come from me she would jump right to an answer from our birth plan, or sit next to me to calmly explain what was occurring. She talked me through every contraction, gave not just me but my husband so many great tips on how to get through each one. When the time came to rush to the OR, Brooke made sure my husband and her were both there to support me and quickly scrubbed in. She talked to me calmly and reassured me multiple times that everything would be okay. My husband said she was the person that kept him calm in the midst of all the panic. Brooke was an absolute blessing. When I first reached out to Brooke to be our doula I only had the simple understanding of what a doula does but after my experience, I can tell you that having her there was a sense of peace in not having to always think on your own when your going through the toughest pain, it’s also having an advocate for you and your husband because honestly if it weren’t for Brooke my husband would’ve more then likely missed the birth of our baby with all the commotion. I also want to give her a huge shoutout on the fact that both my mom and MIL are Spanish speaking and she made sure that they were also explained every single thing that was occurring so that they would not feel excluded!! I would 100% have Brooke be there at every one of my delivery’s and everyone considering it should also let her be apart of their special day!
