Testimonial for Adriana Babler, Ph.D., CD(DONA)
Adriana was a very important part of our daughter's birth story. I contacted her about being our doula fairly late into my pregnancy, and though she was only available on 'stand by' for the birth itself (due to a full client load that month), she was such a help to us as we prepared for the big day. She guided us through what to expect and informed us well on decisions that were within our control, without ever putting pressure on us to follow a certain plan.
The night I went into labor (3 weeks early), Adriana was one of the first persons we contacted, and she gave reassuring advice for the hours ahead of us. As it turned out, our daughter was not born until the next night, and Adriana was able to be with us for the vast majority of labor and all of the delivery. Her calming presence and guidance helped me get through delivery, and having her in the room empowered me immensely. Once our little one was born, she was taken fairly quickly to the nursery for observation. My husband accompanied her, but Adriana stayed by my side, which was so comforting to me. Her knowledge, experience, and overall demeanor were so important to me and to my husband. I will most certainly be calling Adriana again next time we are expecting!
