Testimonial for Danielle Breach CD(BAI)

I'm not sure if I want natural birth, and if doula is needed. So I interviewed a couple doulas to decide. My friend referred Danielle to me. After meeting with her and hear good things about her, I brought her to my birth team right away! I got epidural right away, and I still think hiring Danielle worths every single penny spent.

Here is why:She provides confidence for me even before birth. She does home visit prior to birth, and taught me some techniques to get the baby into correct position, relief my lower back pain etc. It was AMAZING!
She's not the doctor, so she doesn't give medical advise. But she is sooo experienced with birth. When I don't feel comfortable bombing my doctor with all questions, she's my to go person. I always get an answer. And when she says that I should call my gyno, then I felt less uncomfortable to call the doc.
She provides confidence and comforting during birth. I'm a FTM, so everything is unknown. But when she walked to the hospital with me, a lot of nurses know her, greeted her, she knows her way to every room, she knows where are the extra blankets etc.. It erases my nervousness away right there.
She's there, so my husband can stay with me! He doesn't have to go out to find nurses, or get me water or anything, Danielle got it! My husband can drop me at the door and go park the car, and I don't have to wait for a nurse while standing in pain, because Danielle got it! Right after baby was born, my husband is holding my hands, not holding a phone to take pictures because Danielle got it! (she captures pictures with a legit camera)
She's the one holding my legs during push, encouraging me, for the whole 3 hours! When I'm not making progress after 2 hours of pushing, she's the one put me on a different position and it helped! Also did I mention the constant massage, so my legs can feel better

If her schedule works out, bring her to your birthing team!
