Testimonial for Erin Moyen, CD/BDT(DONA), PCD(DONA), LCCE, CLE
After having a terrible experience with labor and delivery with my first child in 2006, I decided to get a doula for my second labor and delivery experience in 2008. I found Erin Moyen on the Calgary Doulas webpage and hired her for my labor and delivery and a few days of my postpardum experience. What I really liked about Erin is that she told me what my rights were with each routine procedure that I encountered in the hospital during the end of my labor experience and this empowered me to speak up for myself so that I did not feel at the mercy and control of hospital staff hooking me up to monitors and IVs. This was VERY important to me. She was also a calm presence in the room for my husband, who was very nervous. I was able to deliver my second child with the use of just laughing gas, thanks to her excellent knowledge of pressure points on the lower back. That was amazing! I would do that again!!! The experience of labor and delivery with my first child verses my second child were like night and day, because of the presence of an educated and calm birth coach. I wish I had had Erin with me with the experience of labor and delivering my first child and I would NEVER birth another child without someone like her with me again. After the birth of my second child, Erin became my friend and I'm very BLESSED that I get to have her in the delivery room again!
