For the birth
of our second daughter, we decided to have a Polly as she had offered
her doula services. Polly helped and supported us before, during and
after the birth of our second daughter, Naomi. Months prior to the
birth of my daughter, she met with my husband and me a few times, and
gave us information and exercises to help us prepare for labour. She
made us feel very comfortable with her, and I truly feel those
exercises made a huge difference in the birth I had. She was also
able to calm my nerves and instill the confidence I needed with her
amazingly positive attitude, incredible wealth knowledge of the labor
and birthing process, as well as her review of numerous labour
positions and techniques for natural pain management. She was also
checking in with me throughout my pregnancy, offering ideas to stay
comfortable and listening and calming all my worries. When the day
came to have our daughter, Polly was ready to go in the middle of the
night, right by our side. My husband was also amazing support for me,
but having a doula allowed me to relax and feel more confident in my
ability to have a natural birth. With their help, I was able to
arrive at the hospital almost fully dilated and ready to deliver, and
had the natural child birth I had really wanted. After I gave birth,
Polly visited me at the hospital and at home, and helped me with
breastfeeding and any other concerns I had. I really feel Polly made
a huge positive difference in my pregnancy and child birth experience.
Polly is empathetic, caring and knowledgeable and has an amazing
positive attitude. I highly recommend Polly as a doula. She is so
helpful and supportive whether you choose to have a birth with or
without medication.”
