Testimonial for Elizabeth Oldham CD(DONA), HCHD, HBCE
When my husband and i decided we wanted to hire a doula we knew that the most important thing to us was to find someone that we instantly felt comfortable with, like we had always known them. We figured we were going to have to interview a lot of people to find this exact person that we wanted to invite into out most intimate and private moment, the birth of our daughter. Elizabeth Oldham was recommended to us from another doula in the area who was not able to make our birth. From the moment we opened the door to meet her for the first time we both knew that it was the right fit. My pregnancy and brith did not go anywhere close to as planned, but all along the way Liz was extremely supportive and made me feel good about everything to come. She always let me know that my birth was going to be beautiful and special no matter what way she came into the world. My daughter was in the breech position and I tried to have her turned at 37 weeks. Liz came with us to the hospital and supported us through this procedure. I never got to experience labor, but through this I know that she would have been the exact type of support that I needed. I ended up having a scheduled C Section and having Liz there was the best choice we ever made. She was a huge support for my husband when i was in the surgery. I ended up having to go under and he couldn't be there with me, she was his rock. The hours after her birth my husband was alone with our daughter and Liz supported him through the whole thing. I feel so blessed that Liz was there for us and I don't know if breastfeeding would have been as successful if she hadn't been there. The doctors said I couldn't breastfeed right away because I was still out of it, but Liz brought our daughter over and put her right on me. She and my husband held her there while I couldn't. Liz is amazing and we will always have a special place for her in our hearts.
