When someone is deciding whether to have a doula, I think one word that comes to mind is advocate. Through my experience with Nia, she has shown that she is so much more than that. From our initial welcome meeting to the birth of my daughter, Nia ensured she listened attentively to my desires, goals, and fears.
During our meetings, Nia provided comprehensive prenatal education in a way that my husband and I could understand. Nia utilized activities and demonstrations to effectively teach and prepare us. I will say, swaddling the doll baby was a lot easier than my daughter ?? Nia encouraged journaling my thoughts and any questions I had. While it was an abundance of information such as the birthing process, breathing techniques, interventions, and feedings, I felt more educated and confident. Nia has an abundance of knowledge and her eagerness to share it made me excited! After our meetings, Nia followed up with a recap of information and additional resources, which was so helpful!
From the first signs of labor, Nia was there. Her warm demeanor and calm presence made this a wonderful and memorable experience. Even in the midst of pain during the childbirth process, Nia gently reminded me of the birthing plan and desires that I had. Nia aided me in relaxation techniques and provided movements to my body to support the process. When the healthcare professionals presented information, Nia took her time to make sure I was making an informed decision by stating the benefits, risks, and alternative options. Nia contributed greatly to my birth and made this a team effort! Once my daughter was born, I felt overwhelmed with emotion. While I was sad to see Nia leave, her teachings penetrated my mind. Thankfully, Nia remained in communication to ensure that my postpartum experience was well!
I am so incredibly blessed that Nia was my doula and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for much more than an advocate!
