Testimonial for Hilary Baxendale
I would HIGHLY recommend Hilary as a doula and for her class! As our doula, she helped my husband and I so much throughout my first pregnancy and postpartum. She’s super down to earth without being too “crunchy”, and has a great personality- we clicked with her right away. Super friendly and funny. Any questions I had she answered- always got back to me quickly. Hilary gave me the tips and resources I needed to help me make informed decisions during pregnancy and for my birth plan- while also respecting my opinions/choices. My first contraction was at 4am- she answered me right away and drove to the hotel (where I labored for about two hours before going to the birth center- we lived far from the area). She was there not only for me, but for my husband as well- guiding him on ways to help me during my labor- and boy was I grateful for that! Hilary did this in a discrete manner- not being overbearing what so ever. My husband told me afterwards how happy he was to have Hilary there to help him because as first time parents- we both didn’t know what to expect! You prepare for this moment but let’s be honest- it can all go out the window in the heat of the moment. She also stayed with us postpartum to assist us with breast feeding. I’ve had to ask her several questions postpartum regarding our breast feeding journey. One of the things I’m most grateful for, is how Hilary took a bunch of amazing photos during my labor and delivery -obviously with my consent- we discussed this prior to labor. I will forever cherish the awesome moments she was able to capture of my husband and I with our baby. I have since recommended Hilary to a bunch of my friends :)
