Testimonial for Nicole Chambers
My husband and I are so happy we decided to hire the RMDS team for our second birth. We had a doula with our first, but she was no longer active in the birth community. Nicole had done my placenta encapsulation with my first, so they were our number one choice to work with this time.
The whole team is an amazing wealth of birth knowledge. In our meetings it was wonderful to talk about all the options we may face, and ensuring my husband and I both knew what we really wanted and where we could be flexible with our birth plan.
Its invaluable to have doulas supporting you through pregnancy and delivery. Those last weeks and days of pregnancy can feel very long and hard, especially when faced with weeks of false labour. Nicole was very helpful, reminding me that my body was doing important work in getting ready for delivery. She continued to check in on us as the days went by.
When the day finally arrived, Allison met us at the hospital, only to find out we were not moving along well and after chatting with her about what may happen next, we were happy to head home and try and get some rest. She was very helpful in suggesting some options to help get my body further along in the process. Although in the moment it seemed like nothing was making my body have stronger waves, it definitly was helping. Later that evening we were back at the hospital with Jessica for a short intense labour. Although much of the events are a bit fuzzy for me, my husband was grateful to have an additional support person with us. The hip squeezes and tens machine helped me get through and before I knew it our baby was in my arms.
We would not hesitate to hire the RMDS team again, should our family continue to grow.
