Testimonial for Adriana Babler, Ph.D., CD(DONA)
The birth of one's first child is a precious, delicate, and exhilarating event. You hope for luck, patience, and grace -- but mostly you just hope to make it through without majorly freaking out. When we decided we wanted to aim for a natural birth, having a doula felt like the right decision to help manage the whirlwind of emotions throughout the pregnancy and on the big day itself. Happily, we can now report that choosing Adriana to be part of this process was absolutely the correct decision for us.
Adriana's help was crucial from the moment we approached her. She kindly met with us prenatally as we began to plan for the birth -- for hours, I might add, answering any and all questions we had. When, around the 8th month, the baby turned transverse, Adriana was quick to offer suggestions and guidance that helped the baby turn back into position. Her presence and helpful spirit bolstered our confidence leading up to labor.
We can't express how thankful we are to have had Adriana present on the evening of our daughter's birth. She was calming, reassuring, supportive, and kind; we truly believe her energy helped create a graceful, welcoming atmosphere for our little one to enter into. Having a steadying presence amidst the chaos of a natural hospital birth was a priceless resource for both of us that evening.
