Testimonial for LOVING TOUCH DOULAS

There are 12 years between this pregnancy and my last. My first pregnancy was a traumatic experience full of interventions. With this pregnancy, I wanted a better experience, one of my choice. I felt by having a doula I could ensure my goal of a positive, empowering birth. My husband at first was hesitant as he works in healthcare and didnt want anyone to overstep our provider. It was really important that we found someone who would work well with our provider and hospital staff. When I called Rebecca I explained my concerns with my first birth and getting my husband on board. We had a meeting the next week, Rebecca was very supportive of my husbands feeling and put his concerns about possibly being replaced and or any issues with our care provider to rest. Rebecca was very supportive,we bonded instantly. Throughout my pregnancy she was there for support. My water broke, 3 weeks early.  I was in a bit of shock and panic, I wasn't expecting it. My husband was on his way home and I called Rebecca she was very calming and helped me focus. We labored a little at home and headed to the hospital. I labored in the tub most of the time, Rebecca was wonderful with counter pressure and other techniques to help with pain. My labor was hard and fast and there were points I felt like I couldn't do it, Rebecca was so calming and helpful. She really was a coach she kept me going when I felt like I couldn't. She gave me the push and confidence I needed. After my delivery I felt great, I had energy and was very aware and connected to the baby. She went skin to skin and nursed immediately. I'm still on cloud 9 from my birth, I look at the pictures Rebecca took and am so proud. I felt heard and empowered at my birth. I will use Rebecca again and recommend her!
