Testimonial for Melinda Ferguson
I really feel that I would not have made it though labor without Melinda. Ok maybe I would have made it, but it would not have been as comfortable and I think I would have had more complications. My water broke two weeks early. She met us at the hospital and helped me to walk around and do a few things to start labor better. She helped my husband to be able to rest through the early part of the overnight labor. I never ended up needing pitocin, thanks to being able to start labor on it's own. She was very helpful in suggesting position changes and reading when I needed something, encouragement, a change, or my husband's encouragement. She was with us for the entire 20 hour labor. And helped us get started breast feeding. It was very helpful to have a consistent helpful person, since the nurse shifts change every 8 hours. Melinda personality worked perfectly with us, she suggested a variety of options with solid background information which allowed us to make informed choices. She supported every one of our choices. The per-natal and post-partum visits were extremely useful and informative. She had the perfect balance of professionalism and caring for us. I would recommend Melinda to any of my friends or any of you thinking about a doula.
