Testimonial for Suzanne DeSelms
At first I just laid on the bed and tried to rest but the contractions were still
coming. Then when Suzanne was giving me a massage I felt my water break. Then I got into the
birthing tub with really hot water which helped. Then the contractions got 10x more intense I started crying then got
to the point where I was screaming
as loud as I could.I kept changing possitons while in the tub but then I
just got out and walked a little bit and squatted. I just kept changing positons and moving around. The pain
was so bad that it just made me feel angry at times. Then I was on the birthing stool with helped alot. That's when
I felt the burn of my babies head coming down. I didn't think the pain could get worse but it did. Then I got onto
the bed again on hands and knees. That was the most painful part during and right before pushing. I pushed as hard as I could. Having to
feel that pain and find the strength to push at the same time was most painful. I kept
pushing and soon after that my baby was born. I was glad I had a natural birth because it was the best thing for him and me even though it was the most
painful. He just looked so awake and aware it was amazing. Having Suzanne be at my birth helped a lot because I got to meet with her and talked with her before the birth so she made me feel
a little more prepared and it made me feel more comfortable. She was a great doula. Her presence while my water broke
and through my whole birth she was right there and that made all the difference.
