Testimonial for Kelly Sunshine CD(DONA)
Kellly was such an incredible asset to us before, during ,and after the delivery of our first baby on 2/28/16. My husband always understood that hiring a doula was important to me, but not until we were deep in the trenches of labor did he really understand how important her role would be in our baby's birth story. Kelly was an awesome teacher to us from our first meeting to our super informative third- trimester check-in, to her invaluable presence on the big day. Kelly coached my husband on how to support me best over the phone when contractions started to get difficult, and her advice really got us through those hours as we labored at home. Once it was time to head to the hospital, Kelly showed up at our house and helped navigate getting us there. After getting through triage, and learning we were half way to fully dilated and ready we headed to our room. I had decided at that point that I was interested in an epideral, which was administered right away. My sometimes queezy husband was talked through how to help me with the pain of the procedure by Kelly, all while she coached me through contractions and staying still. We all got to rest for a bit once it kicked in, which we soon found out was imperative- since I ended up pushing for almost 4 hours before our baby girl came out to meet us! Kelly coached me and my hubby through all of it, she even pulled out a few tricks to help me focus and remind me how strong I really was. She also helped keep things light hearted in the room, and laughed at my husband's corny jokes. I can't imagine what our delivery would have been like without her, and my husband and I highly recommend using all of Kelly's services for anyone preparing to have a baby. We think of Kelly as family now and wouldn't consider having another baby without her.
