Testimonial for Susan Petrus
I had an absolute wonderful and empowering experience with Susan as my doula. She helped educate and prepare me during my pregnancy and for my labor and delivery experience. I definitely plan to use her as my doula during my next pregnancy. :-)
I contacted Susan early in my third trimester so that I could have the chance to get to know her and feel comfortable with her as my doula. She was very professional and personable. Susan helped me feel confident in my myself and my decisions for my pregnancy and birth. She gave my husband and I information and helped me develop my birth plan. We developed a great relationship and I felt comfort with her during my delivery.
On the day of my delivery, Susan came to our home in the wee hours as I labored there for the majority of the time. We were not there very long due to the fast pace of my labor, but she help me with breathing through the pain and different positions. She helped my husband and I get to the hospital without a major incident because we were nervous. Susan kept me as calm as possible through it all.
Susan labored with me every minute. (If I was laboring on the floor, she was right down there with me.) She was really there for me through it all. Even more so, my husband is deaf and she learned a few signs to help her communicate with him through my labor and delivery.
If you are looking for a doula that is truly amazing, hands down, Susan is the doula to get! She is truly there for you.
Susan empowers you to take as much control as you can throughout your pregnancy, labor and delivery.
