Testimonial for Juanita Harris CD(DONA)
I had the opportunity to have Juanita be my doula this past November 2015, while my husband was deployed. It was a MUST have! To be honest however, I wish I had her for my first pregnancy even with my husband there, as he did not know what to do! I had a natural birth the first time and knew that second time around I needed someone to be my advocate during the pain and also after giving birth when you are so consumed by your new little one that you find it difficult to voice you desires to the medical team. Because I had Juanita there to coach me through the labor this time, I was able to have a friend take some pictures with Juanita's direction. The photo's really showed a fantastic story of my daughters birth to show my husband. I decided to opt for her post birth services as well due to my situation of being a military family and without my husband and family. She coached me through the after birth contractions which were worse with the second child. She helped bring me my baby and took more photos for me which I would have forgotten about. She also let me sleep!!! I am SO thankful for Juanta. I would recommend she is worth the investment for your birthing experience not matter how you plan to deliver. You will REALLY be thankful you made the decision to have a doula. After this experience, I can say that I do not dread the idea of giving birth again (unlike my first child) should that happen in my future. <3
