Testimonial for Chloe Wilcox. CD(DONA)
Chloe was amazing! My husband and I could not imagine going through that day again without her help. She has such a calm caring manner which put me at ease while managing to focus me on the task at hand. There were a few times I started to lose my focus and panic but she was right there at my side to boost my strength and help me cope.
Chloe was there for us throughout the whole experience. She was on the phone checking on me once I let her know contractions had started and came over once we were sure they were progressing to help us labor at home for a while. She was great at suggesting new positions to try and to make sure I changed these positions often to help things along. After my water broke at 12:30 am we labored a little longer before going to the hospital where it seemed to take forever to be admitted. The bed was very uncomfortable in triage where they only let one person be with you and my husband couldn't seem to comfort me like I was needing so he had Chloe come back to help me. This was much appreciated once she came in and helped me with counter pressure and reminders to breath and that this contraction would be over soon making what felt overwhelming at that moment seem like much less of a mountain to climb.
Once we were admitted I was having back to back contractions and felt the need for an epidural which I don't know if I could have stayed still enough to get if Chloe wasn't there to help me manage the intensity of those contractions. Things went pretty smooth from there though it was a very long day she was there for me every step of the way. My son was born after 37 minutes of pushing with constant encouragement and hand holding at 7:37 pm. I will definitely hire Chloe again if we have a future pregnancy, I feel blessed to have found her for this one!
