Testimonial for DC Birth Doulas, LLC
My experience with Amy Ard of DC Birth Doulas was exceptional. I had a very difficult hospital experience and her advocacy and wisdom saved me from an early induction. They tried to induce me 2 weeks and 3 days early due to a bloodwork abnormality, and after 48 hours of failed induction, she advocated to get me home! She then attended my labor a week later when my water broke, and helped me to work through a traumatic experience that ended in an emergency C-section. When I finally got home a few days later, I had severe post-partum anxiety - a total shock to me and my family since my first son was a blissful home birth 6 years earlier. She came to my bedside that night and literally stayed up with me all night, held my baby, and helped me make it through the first of many traumatic sleepless nights, as I was unable to sleep even when my baby slept. She helped me to find a night nurse/post-partum doula and encouraged me to seek professional help. She has checked in with me and through it all been so compassionate, professional, and gone above and beyond my expectations. I can't recommend DC Birth Doulas highly enough - they are wonderful.
