Testimonial for Emily Cohen-Moreira
I didn’t know about doula until late in my pregnancy. We heard about doula for the first time when my husband and I took birth class. We wanted to delay any pain medication as long as possible but we had no confident since we were first time parents. So when we heard about doula, we thought having doula was great idea. We asked our teacher if she knew anyone who is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience. The first person came up in her mind was Emily and she recommended us to contact her. We contacted her and set up the interview right away. We liked how knowledgeable and confident she was. My husband and I both agreed that we did not need to look for or to interview anyone else after we met her.
She came over our house and gave us valuable lectures. She was always available to answer all of our questions and to give us advices whenever we needed.
When my labor started in the middle of the night, we contacted Emily and she was ready for us any time. We tried all the coping method she taught us when we were at home. We managed to stay home until last minutes and decided to meet her at the hospital. She was with us whole time and it was big relief for us having someone who was very knowledgeable and also knew us. She helped us relaxed and advised me how to push. Thanks to her advice, we managed to have our daughter without any pain medication with minimum pain.
She helped us with breastfeeding, too. We had hard time breastfeeding baby and I was about giving up the breastfeeding but she gave us a lot of advices. She also checked on us daily and came over to the house several time until we were confident with breastfeeding. Without Emily, I don’t think I could breastfeed our baby successfully. Now our daughter is 5 months old and I have returned to work but we are able to keep breastfeeding successfully. I am so glad to have Emily as our doula and lactation consultant :)
