Testimonial for Shari Aizenman
I was 38 weeks pregnant when I decided I wanted a doula. I was really usure if that was the route I should take. I figured that I could do it on my own and with the help of my husband. After speaking with my OBGYN, and telling him my concerns- he gave me Shari's name and number. I spoke with Shari on the phone and she personally came to my home to visit and speak with me about my vision and what I expected from the labor and birth process. Immediately, I felt a strong connection with Shari. She understood my fears and was open to hearing all my concerns. We remained in contact throughtout the last weeks of my pregnancy. I went over 9 days and with every symptom of labor i felt comfortable speaking with her to ease my worry and to know if it was the real deal. She always had positive things to say and kept me sane During those moments when I thought the baby would never come.
At the hospital, she arrived at 2am to help with my stronger contractions and was there sup porting me 100% she knew exactly what to do to help me thru my hard contractions. I had a natural labor and vbac. I know that I wouldn't have been able to push thru without her there. She always remained positive and reminded me that I was meant to birth a baby. Those words of encouragement really motivated to keep chugging along. I'm so happy with my decision in hiring a doula and especially with Shari as my doula. I plan and hope to do the same with my next pregnancy.
