Testimonial for Kathleen Wilson
Before getting pregnant, I had no idea what a Doula was. I just thought I would have a baby like most people do, until I discovered natural childbirth & began to educate myself. By the time I knew I wanted to try it, I was already 32 wks and with an OB & hospital that were not inclined to help mothers birth naturally & also had high C-section rates. It was HARD to get transferred to a new OB at 32 wks, but Kathleen's referral was the golden ticket! After talking to 20 different doctors I got in with a wonderful OB at Texas Children's Hospital who would let me have my baby as naturally as possible.
Having Kathleen was a blessing, she was the liaison between the medical staff and helped me keep things as minimally invasive as possible. Babies all come in their own ways, mine took 21 hours and Kathleen was there by my side for almost all of it, she had crossed town in the middle of the night to come be with me. I decided to get an epidural after 11 hours of labor, and my daughter was born 10 hours later. It was the most beautiful, miraculous experience of my life. Kathleen was friends with my nurse and they took amazing care of me the whole time. She had also delivered several babies before with my doctor who was equally amazing. They took such great care of me that I did not get a single stitch and Kathleen showed me how to have my baby latch on to nurse within the first five minutes of her life.
Even my (initially skeptical) mother said that Kathleen was worth her weight in gold and she was so grateful to have her there helping me! Kathleen also has a wide network of people I used for acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, photography, post-partum support group, and even a book club. I loved getting to know Kathleen and her beautiful family. She is kind, she is strong, and she will help make your pregnancy & delivery better than it could ever be on your own. My baby is 10 wks old now. We LOVE Kathleen!
