Testimonial for Adriana Babler, Ph.D., CD(DONA)
Our friend said you need a doula, but we weren't sure since we were planning a home birth with a midwife. I started going to Adriana's prenatal yoga classes and found out that she was a doula. I really liked her so I asked if she was available for our son's birth. Unfortunately, she was already booked. But, we were able to go to her couples prenatal yoga class and learned a lot of breathing techniques and positions for labor.
Then, our son decided to come 6 weeks early! Our plan totally changed and we had to go to the hospital. Luckily, our friend reminded us to get a doula when we got to the hospital. I immediately called Adriana, and she was available to help us right away! Yay! Adriana came that evening to check on us in the hospital. Then she came back super early in the morning when we called her for help. She helped energize us and relax us at the same time. She gave my husband a much needed break, got me up and moving, and helped us so much physically and mentally. She knew exactly what to do to comfort us, and helped guide us through the stages of labor. She whispered things to my husband so he could better help me, gave him advice on how to get what we needed from hospital staff, reminded us of things we wanted to do, and helped us follow our birth plan the best we could. She also captured the first moments of my son's birth on her camera phone. We will always cherish those pictures!!!
My husband says that she was a level head in a chaotic situation. She really helped us through every step, I don't know how we would have done without her. She definitely made everything a lot easier! She was AMAZING and we're so grateful that she was able to be our doula after all!!! We hope she's here for our second child's birth! We'll be sure to call her right after we find out we're pregnant!
