Testimonial for Anne Schuchman
Anne is my pregnancy, childbirth, labor, and mom guru. She’s awesome and is the best, most wonderful and kind doula. Anne was my doula for my first baby, a 9lb 8oz girl born in a hospital, and as soon as I found out I was pregnant again, she was one of my first phone calls for my second baby, a 10 lb 3oz girl, also born in a hospital. Anne was the reason I was able to have an unmedicated natural vaginal birth for both babies, despite their size (where I was repeatedly encouraged to have C-sections). She also helped me maintain my focus when the going got tough during labor and I was questioning my commitment to a natural and epidural-free birth! She was in constant contact with me during pregnancy, providing me with materials, information, and simply a shoulder to lean on (the same shoulder I kept grabbing during labor! And Anne was sweet and gentle and never made me feel silly for anything I said or did). Both labors began with my water breaking and being told to come to the hospital right away, and this meant long nights of helping labor progress and staying calm while waiting. Anne supported my goals, assisted me the whole way through, stayed with me while my husband took breaks, and I felt safe and secure knowing that she was right by my side both times, the whole time. I have recommended her to all of my pregnant and trying-to-conceive friends. Should another baby be in the cards for me, Anne will again be my first phone call!
