Testimonial for Matilda Lindén CD(PALS)

I can't say enough about Matilda.  After having a less-than-optimal experience with a doula at our first birth, my husband and I were very careful about who we hired for the birth of our second child.  We interviewed 3 doulas and ended up choosing Matilda.  Let me explain how awesome she was.  During my first labor, I had  had excrutiating pain in my hips every contraction and no one seemed to know how to help me.  I was very concerned that this pain would happen again during this second labor and I was right, I started to feel the contractions in my hips, but this time I had a secret weapon, Matilda!  She was able to do hip squeezes correctly so that until transition I could hardly feel any pain in my hips and felt each contraction bear directly down on my cervix.  I truly believe that this was one of the key factors in making this labor as short and awesome as it was since each contraction was doing it's job.  In  addition to this pain relief, Matillda just read me so well.  I must have had   only about 4 contractions duriing transition- not realizing that I was in transition, I asked to go to the tub. The very first contraction I had in the tub, my water finally broke and then within 1 or 2 contractions I was pushing!  I was in disbelief!  Even  though  I didn't  say  anything, Matilda  read my facce and let me know that Yes! I really was pushing and to go with my body.  She also held my head in her hands like a pillow during every contraction in the tub. I was so thrilled with the level of support that I was recieving that between these hard pushing contractions, I literally looked up at her and told her I loved her!  Even my husband (who had been extremely irritated with the doula at our first birth and didn't want to get another one) adimitted that hiring Matilda was worth ever penny.  This birth rocked! Thank you Matilda!
