Testimonial for Rosie Peterson
I have a difficult time thinking of Rosie without smiling. She is literally the ultimate doula. I was drawn to her by her genuine attitude portrayed in her blog, and after doing research I saw she was the doula of choice for at least one other doula. When I've mentioned my doula to others in the birth education profession, I have gotten the most positive endorsements from "she is so yummy" to something along the lines of having my own Angel by my side for the birth of my baby. I understand the enthusiasm after experiencing a non-medicated VBAC of my own at the hospital. i think that Rosie does an excellent job of learning about the mom and tailoring the experience to HER...the reference I spoke to did not have the same beliefs as me and I hesitated to move forwatd with Rosie but it turns out, no matter what kind of birth you want and or doula you're looking for, Rosie is able to be that person. My big focus was on preparation. Rosie was great with supplying me with numerous resources and oftentimes she would provide alternate views of an issue without trying to force her beliefs on you. I had millions of questions and thoughts to get out ...I feel like we kept a running conversation during my last month of pregnancy and she was always quick to respond with advice and/or reassurance. With any doula, you have to be open so they can support what YOU want and Rosie has a great system to get to know you and make that happen. Even the hospital staff was impressed with her and what she provided in the birth room. With her guidance, we didnt show up to the hospital until I was 7-8 cm and she helped bring my focus to where it needed to be when I got caught up in negativity or doubted myself. She was equally supportive of my spouse and my biggest problem with her is coming up with "areas to improve on" for her doula assessment. I don't often give glowing reviews, but I really can't say enough about Rosie and what she meant to us for our birth Experience.
