Testimonial for DC Birth Doulas, LLC
The best things about having 50+ hour labor is that I had the joy of working with three wonderful doulas in this practice. My husband and I were not really sure about the whole doula thing in the first place but we are SO glad that we worked with DC Birth Doulas. Sara's presence from the first moment was calming and comfortable. She has a range of techniques to help with contractions (letting my husband both be fully involved and get a break when he needed it). She thought of everything and was ready to help in whatever way possible. Elizabeth came in after 30 hours into labor which I am sure can't be easy. She works magic with her hands (and is a licensed massage therapist) and helped us to ask all the right questions so that we felt comfortable with our medical decisions without ever being intrusive or pushy. Amy got to join us for the birth of our daughter. She made sure that everything was right post birth and didn't leave until we were happily settled in recovery. She knew what to think about and even took amazing photos right post birth that we wouldn't ever had thought to. My husband and I had also taken a birth class in the past and thought she was a great educator and not preachy on any one approach to birth. In short, the DC Birth Doulas are all amazing supports and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. They can connect you to me if you'd like to talk in more detail
