Testimonial for Elan Eddington
Elan was my doula for my 3rd bith, 1st unmedicated. It was one of the best decisions I've made! I knew i wanted to try a natural birth, so I started going to a Midwife at Rosemark Women's Center and really liked her, but the fact that she may not be there for sure made me nervous. Also not knowing how long she could be there with me to have constant help was not sitting well with me. I contacted Elan and we began almost immeditaly with the 1st of the 3 home visits she makes. She has a very calm, relaxing, and gentle way about her that helped put me at ease. When I was 8 days over due and the whole world was making me feel like something was wrong with me or the baby, she kept me grounded and trusting in my body with comforting texts or calls. When we decided to break my water to get the birth going, she was right there, being 20 weeks pregnant herself! She massaged my feet, shoulders, and made sure I was comfortable during early stages of labor. She helped my husband know how to help me which was HUGE. Farther into labor both her and my husband did counter pressure on my hips which practically made my contractions go away! Amazing. It was a beautiful birth and I couldn't have done it without her. She even wrote my birth story and gave it to me a couple weeks later; looking very professional and detailed! I love Elan and would recommend her and use her again!
