Testimonial for Kerry Reynolds
I was wishing for a hyponobirthing birth and decided to go with a doula. We liked Kerry the first time we met her. She was very friendly and nice, optimistic and knowledgeable. When Lucas was overdue, I talked to Kerry several times on the phone, panicing. She managed to find the right words to reassure me everything would be ok. Finally, 8 days overdue, my first contractions started at night. I spoke to Kerry several times that night, again, finding her words very reassuring. Kerry arrived to the hospital a few minutes after us, and stayed with me throughout the whole 30+hours journey. When she found out that my labor is progressing, but slowely, she encouraged me to walk. We walked several miles that day. There is no chance I would have done it without Kerry. She even climbed steps with me to promote the dialation. When I wanted to rest, she let me do that. When I wanted to be alone wtih my partner, she always left without me even asking her. When I needed her there, she was always there, encouraging me to work through my not-so-easy labor (my baby was face up). She never pushed me, but she always gave me suggestions, information, advice - and that is what I needed. When I finally (after 3 hours of pitocin) decided to get an epidural, she was on my side, while my partner needed some convincing. Kerry, with her wise words, managed to convince him that it was for the best. And it indeed was - may baby was born after I was able to sleep with the help of epidural. I pushed for long 3 hours, and again - Kerry was there, putting cold washcloth over my forehead, holding my arms/legs and counting to help me push. Kerry, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We would have never been able to do it without you. You are an amasing person, and I am glad that you had a call to become a doula.
