Testimonial for DC Birth Doulas, LLC
We used DC Birth Doulas for the preparation and birth of our first child and could not have been happier. Amy Ard was our Doula during birth and she was everything we had hoped for. She was attentive, caring, knowledgeable and my advocate every step of the way. Amy was there to answer any question and provide me with feedback without any judgement or pushing in one direction or another. I felt that Amy understood the type of birth I wanted and was very supportive of my wants and needs. During more stressful moments of the labor Amy was very calm and attentive, watching the monitor for the baby’s heart beat closely while keeping me calm by talking with me. My husband and Mother blended seamlessly with Amy and she was extremely respectful of the special role I wanted each party to play in my labor. After delivery Amy helped us have a successful breastfeeding experience, something I really wanted and was very happy to have had.
Prior to birth we attended the “meet the doulas” event, which served as a very educational and helpful introduction to the services of a doula and birth in general. We took the Childbirth class as well, which was very helpful and informative. I felt I had a solid understanding of what labor would be like, and my partner and I both had tools and techniques to use throughout labor afterwards. My husband would both highly recommend their services! This was definitely the best choice for our family.
Thank you Amy, Sarah and Sara!
