Testimonial for christiane vermeersch
When I got pregnant, my husband and I decided we wanted to find a doula to help us through a (hopefully) non-medicated natrual birth. We realized that I might be screaming for medication with the first contraction, and wanted to find someone who would be open to both a natural birth as well as a full on epidrual with all the bells and whistles. The last thing we felt we would need at that moment would be someone who was judgemental. The other thing we realy wanted was experience. We both both in Christine.
I had a difficult labor. I was not one of those women who can "barely feel their contractions" or had a short labor, it was a long hard battle and between my husband and Christine, I was able to make it though most of the labor sans drugs. Unfortunatley, I did end up having an epidural around hour 30. At the time, I felt like a failure, but Christine helped me understand that there is a time for everything... even an epidural. After 40+ hours of labor, I ended up having a c-section. I was devastated. After all I had been through, I didn't even get to deliver my baby. Chirsitine was wonderful through it all and reassured me the entire time. After brith she graciously made herself available to me through calls and texts as well as visiting me. Our baby has terrible reflux. It is a horrible condition that makes a colickly child seem serene. We are currently in the process of finding a solution for her discomfort. Christine has been so wonderful to us through all of it and has been a source of information as well as comfort. We highly recommend Chrsitine to anyone looking for a doula who is NOT judgmental and is highly skilled. She is a gem. My husband is amazing, however, even with his help I would never had been able to do as much as I did.
