Testimonial for Suzanne DeSelms
I decided to work with a doula for my second birth because my husband was not going to be there for the birth. I am so blessed to have found Suzanne. We had 2 prenatal visits where she really listened to me about my first birth, how I was feeling and my birth plan. She is easy going and will let you set the tone for your relationship. She is really knowledgable so if you forget to ask your OB/midwife a question, she is a quick resource. She has an arsenal of techniques to assist with comfort. relaxation and focus during labor. And if all else fails she will let you squeeze her hand as hard as you need to during contractions. She is a voice for your desires when you just can't speak or think. If it wasn't for her, I would have been going home from the hospital not knowing I was 5 cm dilated. She is your personal cheerleader during pushing but in a soft, close to your ear kind of voice.
My biggest fear was finding someone I felt comfortable with and trusted for a an experience that is so personal especially since my husband was not going to be there. Suzanne was an answer to prayer. She will forever be part of a story that I am sure will be told several times and for that I am thankful and truly blessed.
