Testimonial for Katie Terry
Katie was my doula at my second birth and it couldn't have went better! I attempted to have a natural birth with my first child but was unsuccessful. When I found out I was expecting my second child I looked into getting a doula and quickly decided that having the birth I wanted was worth the cost and I was right! I am more of a shy passive person so I knew I needed someone who was outgoing and easy to talk to. When I met Katie the first time I new she was exactly what my birth needed! She was there from the beginning answering even the smallest of questions. During the days leading up to my birth she contacted me often to see how I was doing. When I felt anxious she always offered encouraging words that lifted my spirit. Once labor began Katie met us at the hospital and was again encouraging and supportive. Throughout labor she continued to speak uplifting words to remind me I could do it. She remembered things I had mentioned previously such as laboring and birthing positions I felt most comfortable with asked if I wanted to try those (which was of great help because my mind was else where lol). Once I began pushing she cheered me on and after pushing only a short time (3 minutes) she was there with us to excitedly welcome our new little girl into our family. After the birth she assisted with nursing and check in with me multiple times. Katie was a fantastic doula and I do plan to use her with my future children!
