Testimonial for Kelly Sunshine CD(DONA)
I cannot even begin to put into words the tremendous impact Kelly Sunshine had on my life. As a first time mother, I did not know much about the wonderful world and services of a doula until late in my pregnancy. Thank God I found out about the many benefits and most importantly and specifically thank God I found Kelly. We did not connect until my 36th week of pregnancy and I am here to tell you that was still enough time for Kelly to become family to us. Kelly is dependable, knowledgeable, accessible and above all she is patient and kind. Kelly met us at the hospital in the middle of the night and made every step of being admitted and properly cared for run more smoothly. I was faced with not-too-cooperative cervix that just would not dilate after hours in triage. Kelly knew the right questions to ask, the right options to keep me progressing and was a wonderful coach and support through those tough and intense several hours of labor. Her instincts are so keen and adept. I’ve never seen someone locate and secure a barf bag so quickly. In the long and tedious hours that followed, Kelly never left my side. She provided great assurance and comfort to my loving husband and family members who were all on standby for many hours as my prolonged labor led from early morning, into day and then night again. She was there to lobby for our needs, make sense of our questions and concerns and translate so many of the new terms being tossed at us first-timers. With regret, my labor even carried over into her daughter’s birthday, which was heartbreaking for me. I know the heart of a mother, because I have a great one, and hated to see Kelly have to be separated from her sweet girl’s celebration. But she tarried on and stuck it out with us.
