Testimonial for Emerald Doulas
Look at you, smart person, looking into a doula! This was one of the best decisions of my twin pregnancy, especially since I hired the EmDo team, so you should keep being brilliant and hire them. Their pre-natal care and guidance was like having your awesome big sister who's been there, done that, and looked fabulous while going through every curveball a pregnancy will throw your way, backwards and in high heels.
At our first "is this the right fit?" meeting, my husband and I expressed some concerns in the OB care we'd gotten up to that point and thanks to the fabulous advice of the EmDo team, were empowered with resources to make some serious changes in care at the 26 week mark. Our new OB team fully supported our birth goals, and I ended up with two happy healthy baby girls and no C-section recovery.
The team was fully supportive of whatever choices my husband and I made for our birth plan- in fact, I think they had more faith in me than I did! There was no judgement when I took my OB's advice to opt for an epidural for multiple reasons, but encouragement that I could get through it all, and they would be there with us.
Their text support throughout my early labor got me through a rough night, and I don't know how I could have gotten through the delivery and unforseen complications without Melanie holding my hand. My husband was free to love on our healthy newborn girls while Mel focused on keeping me calm and blissfully unaware of the craziness going on around us.
If you're on this site, clearly you're considering a doula, so give the EmDo ladies a call, meet with them at a cafe where there's amazing cake and coffee, and just get all the warm fuzzies I had from the first meeting through the postnatal follow up visit. It might be one of the best choices you make all 40 weeks!
