Testimonial for Christine Goldman Redmond
I began researching VBACs shortly after my first son was born. I was induced and he was born via unplanned c-section after pushing nearly 3hrs. We knew we wanted more kids and a repeat c-section was not an option. My research led me to doulas. I found Doulas of CNY and called them. I met with Chris 36 weeks pregnant. We clicked. I hired her on the spot. She was going to be my way to a VBAC. Don't get me wrong-- I was all amped up for a VBAC without a doula-- but WITH a doula I KNEW I would do it. My husband was my right hand and Chris was my left. She was always one step ahead of me- taking care of needs right when they arised. Her reassuring words in transition "you have done all the hard stuff. you're baby will be here soon" and saying all the words I needed to hear when I needed to hear it. Chris is the PERFECT seasoned doula. I was SO BLESSED to have her at my birth. Since the birth of my second son via a doula supported, intervention free, med free VBAC I have become a DONA certified DOULA myself and hope to help as many women feel as supported as I did with Chris as my doula. She is the complete package.
