Testimonial for Ana Hernandez
Ana has been a great support since the day we decided to hire a doula. Ana was kind enough to meet with us for more than once for our prenatal meetings. At prenatal meetings, Ana had me and my husband try various relaxation techniques and go over what my birth plans are. I had to go to hospital because I found out my water was leaking during my appointment with doctor. When I was admitted, Ana was able to help me start my labor by trying acupressure points, so I didn't need to use Pitocin which was ordered by my doctor. During labor, Ana was very supportive to both me and my husband. Personally, applyinf counterpressure helped me the most during contractions. It required a lot of muscle strength, but Ana was very good at applying pressure the whole time I had contractions. Ana helped me focus on breathing techniques as well as trying other relaxation techniques. The ones that I didn't feel comfortable doing, she didn't force but was very agreeable to whatever I felt most comfortable. After birth, Ana came to our house to check on how the baby and I was doing. She was very informative about breastfeeding and had good resources for me if I needed or had questions about breastfeeding. She even made phone calls after the visit to check on how I was recovering. Overall, Ana's presence during the birth has made my birth experience exceptional and unforgettable. Most importantly, Ana has helped me and my husband make our own decisions to follow our birth plan.
