Testimonial for Melanie Suarez
Melanie is such a sweet, genuinely good person. I ended up getting induced because my baby was 2 weeks late. Even though we wanted a natural water birth, the induction ended up complicating things and it became a chain of interventions and complications that led to my son being born 44 hours after i had been admitted to the hospital (no water birth :( )Melanie was such a fundamental part for me, my partner and my mom to keep our sanity during the very long labor. She injected positive thoughts into me when i thought i didnt have the energy to keep going. She guided me and my husband into useful positions to cope with the contractions and made me feel in control and full of positive thoughts. At one point we were all so stressed out and defeated that Melanie suggested we pray. We all held hands and Melanie gave the most beautiful powerful prayer. It brought back some needed peace and energy to get us through the finish line. At one point i gave up and was about to ask for a c section, but after talking to Melanie, i was convinced to keep trying for a vaginal birth, which i ultimately got. After the whole thing was over both my husband and mother said: thank God you hired that doula, we dont know what we would have done without her. They both agreed they wouldnt have had the tools to help me get through it. There are no words to describe how amazing Melanie was. She stood by me for almost 30 hours! She still checks up on me and baby. I still get in touch with her for any baby questions because she is so knowledgeable and happy to help. Melanie is a beautiful person who genuinely cares for her clients and goes above and beyond what i ever expected from a doula. You cant go wrong with her and if she is your doula, you will be grateful you hired her and will forever remember her as playing a key role on that special day.
