Brandie was an invaluable part of my pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum experience. She provided emotional support and peace of mind during my pregnancy, and was a wonderful resource for questions I was having trouble finding reliable answers for. She prepared both myself and my husband for what to expect during labor, which alleviated many of our fears.
Hospitals can be very intimidating, and her presence at the hospital during my labor and birth was very calming. She worked with the doctors and nurses and advocated for my wishes during my labor, and as a result, I was able to achieve natural the birth I was hoping for. During the intense part of my labor and through pushing, she was there coaching me on how to breathe and push effectively.
She has checked in with me several times postpartum. During the postpartum visit, she spent a long time recalling details of my birth, many of which I did not remember. She also helped me understand how to make sure my son was latched on properly during breastfeeding, and how to help him if he was having trouble latching.
I cannot say enough wonderfult things about Brandie and the support she provided not only for me, but for my husband as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering using doula services, and look forward to working with her again during my next pregnancy and birth!
