Testimonial for Christal Quick CD(DONA)
My husband and I moved from the East Coast to the San Diego area in January, when I was 7 months pregnant. I was pretty overwhelmed between moving to a new area, finding a new Ob/Gyn and preparing for having a new baby! We have no family here, and we wanted some extra support. I really wanted to have a natural birth, and I wasn't confident that I would be able to achieve that on my own. The first time I talked with her on the phone, I could tell we would be a good match. We met up for a meet and greet to discuss the type of support she could provide, and I knew she would be perfect for us! She came to our house to discuss all of the things I had anxieties or questions about, and really put my husband at ease, knowing that someone else with experience would be there for us. I called Christal several times in the weeks leading up to my labor. I had some primordial labor with very strong contractions the whole week before delivery - ugh! She helped to talk me through what this was, which was very comforting since I had never even heard of this condition before. The day my labor kicked into high gear, I called Christal again. She was so calming and very reassuring. She came over to my house and offered great suggestions on things to do during labor which really helped me to breathe through everything and relax. My goal was to labor at home and minimize time at the hospital. We definitely achieved that. I had my son after only 3 hours at the hospital. Christal was there helping to guide us through all of the events of the day, and helping through the hardest part (for me at least) at the hospital. She was an integral part of us achieving a healthy and natural birth with confidence, and we can't thank her enough for all of her support. I feel lucky and blessed to have found a Doula as special as Christal to help us through such a special moment in our lives. And I really feel we experienced the exact type of birth that we had envisioned. Thank you Christal!!!
