Testimonial for DC Birth Doulas, LLC
We cannot say enough good things about our experience with DC Birth Doulas. We had hoped for an unmedicated birth, but at about 31 weeks I presented with high blood pressure, which meant at least an induction. At our prenatal visit, Sarah Paksima helped us think through how to make it as close to what we wanted as possible. When the day came and it turned out I would have an emergency c-section even before induction, Sara Baum came as soon as we called. We had imagined a doula would support me through painful contractions with counter pressure and other comfort measures. Instead, Sara turned into the most thoughtful and skillful grief counselor and recovery nurse. She kept my husband calm when I was in surgery. When I came out, she helped me breast feed for the first time and stayed with us all day. If we do this again, we'll definitely hire DC Birth Doulas.
