Testimonial for Suzanne Kelly
There are truly no words that could describe what an incredible experience my husband and I had with Sue. We had never thought of having a doula, but after having a tough time with my first delivery, we decided it was a good idea. Right from the start Sue was there for us making sure we understood exactly what a doula was and did. We had a meeting with her to discuss what I did and did not want during my labor. Part of that was my wish to not receive an epidural. I happened to be a week late and we knew Sue was away visiting her daughter that weekend, but when I woke up that morning with contractions 4 minutes apart my husband called her. She quickly calmed us down and started her 4 hour journey home, texting and calling us the whole time. We got to the hospital, only to find out I was 8cm dialated all ready, we figured that Sue would not get to us on time...but she did! As soon as she got there I felt relief! She has such a calming way about her and began making me as comfortable as possible. There were plenty of times I thought I wasn't going to be able to it, ready to give up, throw in the towel, and get the epidural (which Sue had previously told me I would say that to her), but she looked into my eyes and told me I could do this and I did! Sue gave me the strength to keep going when I wanted to give up. After the baby was born Sue made sure all of my wishes were honored, I was able to breastfeed skin-to-skin quickly among other things! She stayed by our sides well after my son was born and to this day, 3 months later, we continue to stay in touch. Sue is truly an amazing doula and person. She made the memory of that day such a beautiful one! I will never be able to thank her for what she did for us that and if I ever have another baby you better believe we will have Sue there!
