Testimonial for Kathy Bradley, IBCLC, CD, ICCE
I hired Kathy Bradley to be my doula for the birth of both of my children. I met with her in June of 2013 to discuss my delivery options. I told her I wanted a natural, non medicated birth in the hospital. This was my first child and I felt it would be beneficial to have a doula with me and my husband during labor and delivery, especially since I did NOT want an epidural.
I can honestly say that I am SO thankful that I hired Kathy to support me. She was there for me and always responded my calls to answer any questions I had even before I went into labor. Once I thought I was in labor, it was so great to be able to call her and talk about what I was feeling. This way I did not have to call my doctor's office about every little thing.
Kathy coached me through my labor at home which lasted several hours. Then once my contractions were 4-5 minutes apart she advised me to go to the hospital. She met me and my husband there and worked so hard to help me feel comfortable during each of my contractions. She rubbed my back, had me sit in the tub, walk around with my husband, etc. She gave me the confidence that I could make it through labor without an epidural. She helped coach me during delivery as well and I am happy to say that I was able to delivery a beautiful, healthy baby boy! I was in labor for 16 hours and I Never had an epidural or any pain medication. Everything was competely natural! It was the birth I always dreamed about! Kathy stayed and helped me with breastfeeding to ensure the baby was latched properly and feeding well. She also worked with me on breastfeeding after I left the hospital.
I was so satisfied with my experience with Kathy that I hired her again to help me with the birth of my daughter who was born only 15 months after my son. Once again, Kathy helped me every step of the way. I had another natural birth without an epidural. I highly recommend Kathy Bradley, she is AMAZING!!!
