Testimonial for Amy Durham
My husband and I are so glad that we selected Amy Durham as our doula. Prior to our son's brith Amy was willing to accomodate our busy work schedules for each of the pre birth sessions. She was always very organized and prepared. As first time parents we had lots of questions and it was clear that Amy is very knowelegable and does her research - her sugestions on books to read and pamphlets to review were always spot on. She was also able to offer her personal experices as a mother.
Amy took the time to help us determine what our birth preferences were. We were so glad we had discussed our preferences before hand. We discussed everything from the type of enviroment that would be most comforting in the labor room to our thoughts on different medical procedures. We appreciated Amy's approach of asking what we wanted and offering information when we did not have enough information about the topic.
Amy was fantastic the day that I went into labor. My OB was not sure that I was actually in labor, but based on a telephone conversation with my husband describing my condition to Amy, she had a strong hunch that I was in labor. She took the initiative to drive out to the hospital. It was a good thing that she did because the labor was quick and if we had waited for the doctor to let us know she would have not made it in time for the birth. Amy was a great confort during the labor and it was so reasurring for us to have her there to help us communicate with the hospital staff. Becasue my son was premature there was a lot of fast work by the doctors and Amy helped narrate was happening so I knew what was going on from the bed. She was very supportive during this scary time.
Once we were back home from the hospital Amy again was there to help us master the swaddle and idenify some needed baby care supplies. We would definitely reccomend Amy.
