New city, new apartment and our first child on the way! We didn't know what to expect when it came to having a baby!
Wanting to have the best natural birthing experience for myself and my daughter I knew we had to hire a doula. We were referred to Heidy by a friend.
Heidy had that instant spark that makes you feel like you will be okay! Our first meeting confirmed that we had made the right choice in hiring Heidy. Our daughter was 11days late and I had to be induced. The delay and deviation from my birth plan gave me a lot of anxiety. Heidy was always available and checked up on me often and helped me with a lot of my anxiety!
At the hospital Heidy was kind and attentive and always ensuring that I was comfortable. During the critical pushing part she encouraged and managed the situation in the delivery room.
She also helped me with the initial skin to skin with my daughter and the first latching technique! And not to forget some of the best pictures taken in the delivery room :)
Her post natal visit helped me understand that despite things not going as planned, how strong I had been. As a new mom you forget how strong you were and start doubting your own strength. Thank you Heidy for making me realize that I am capable of anything and what a great job I am doing, I need to remind myself of this often!
