Testimonial for Elizabeth Oldham CD(DONA), HCHD, HBCE
I was very happy to have Liz as my doula! I picked Liz because she has a very calming demeanor, but was firm and take charge when it mattered. I instantly felt comfortable with her and knew I would be at ease with having her be part of the birth team.
Prenatally, it was very helfpul to have her review my birth plan. She had me think about procedures/test for myself and baby that I had not even thought about. She was responsive and followed up regularly.
My labor started with my water breaking, but no signs of contractions, and it put me at ease being able to talk to Liz when I couldn't get a hold of my midwives immediately. After labor picked up and proceeded quickly overnight my husband called her early in the morning and she met us at the hospital.
The actual pushing part was a complete blur, but Liz became an integral part of the birthing team when she arrived at the hospital. My charley horses were massaged out, my legs were continuously held open while pushing, and a lot of supportive words and coaching was given.
And I really appreciated the food/snacks she brought during our post-natal meeting. It was great working with Liz and I would recommend her to any of my pregnant friends.
