Testimonial for Emily Campbell
Emily made my birth so much better! If I have more kids she's definitely going to be in my care team! :)
I had a planned home VBAC this time around. I'd experienced a hospital VBAC before without a doula present. This labor wasn't so terribly different than the previous birth but the people supporting me made the experience vastly different!
During my pregnancy Emily was always available to chat about the pregnancy and birth. She really wanted to be a rock and comfort for me. Her manner of care and helpfulness put me at ease! She was very reassuring and would often make me laugh even if I was stressed with crazy pregnancy hormones:)
During my labor I think it was interesting what a good sense she had for what I needed. She must be gifted with being able to see a person that way. She knew when I needed to be left alone and when I needed support. My contractions were very inconsistent whenever my midwife would come around. It was a bit weird, but I think I felt pressured when I was being checked on. When it was just Emily in the room I felt very at ease and my contractions progressed as they should. She gave me the space I needed to labor but I still FELT very well taken care of. She really never "left my side" the entire labor even though she was being pressured to by my midwife and OB. I can't tell you how I appreciated knowing that she never left me. I think that in the midst of the intensity of labor it was reassuring to have someone there that I felt was truly on my side!
Working with Emily Campbell was a great experience. She's kind and professional and really just wants to help make the birth the way the mom wants it to go. I'd definitely recommend anyone considering hiring a doula to give her a call!
