Testimonial for Christa Duquette CD(DONA), SBD, HCHD

I had always wanted to be a mother but was so scared to actually give birth to a baby, so scared that I had huge anxiety around this throughout my pregnancy until I met Christa when I was about 28 weeks along.  She was the first Doula that I actually had met with in my search and I knew that after spending a short amount of time with her that she would be the one to help me through giving birth (which was fastly approaching).  She listened to all of my fears, responded with kindess and compassion as well as taught me so much around what was going to happen and what I could expect when it was "time", my anxiety levels slowly went down after each meeting with her.  At exactly 38 weeks I was induced on a Saturday morning, I went home and rested and was back at the Hospital by 4pm, things were getting pretty intnese and anxiety levels were high, when Christa showed up a short time later it was like a calm came over the room (my Husband, Sister and close friend will all say the same thing), she knew what to do and we let her lead the way (I had this idea in my head that you had to labour in bed, well I did not get onto the bed until it was time to actually push).  I ended up giving birth very fast and without the epidural that I was so sure I would have, had Christa not been there I am sure that things would not have gone so smoothly.  She took beautiful pictures in the delivery room as soon as he was born, memories that we will be able to look at forever.  Christa stayed until she knew we were okay, gave us time to settle into home and then came to visit us twice bringing with her a birth story and timeline of events from labour (was surprised at how much I had forgotten).  We had the BEST experience with Christa and she will be one of the first people I call when I get pregnant again bc I'll just have to have her with us again.

WE LOVE YOU CHRISTA
