Testimonial for Christa Duquette CD(DONA), SBD, HCHD
Hi ladies,
My name is Melissa Torres I have recently had a beautiful daughter on February 24th. If you are considering a doula I highly recommend it! My experience with Christa was nothing less then amazing! Not only was she hugely supportive for me but my mother as well. Here is my story!!
I left sask 4 months pregnant and single.. Didn't expect my pregnancy to go so fast because during it really feels like a slow process. I expected to have baby in maybe 5 weeks and was crapping my pants because I had no support with me. I found christas card (thank god) and called, she set up a meeting with me that week and fit me into her super busy schedule.
I had to be induced early with my baby girl because she wasnt gaining weight. Pretty worried I called christa and she calmed me down as well as explained to me the process in which sounded like gibberish from the doctors. Even when I was bored in the hospital or late at night I called Christa and she always answered and talked! Even offered to bring me snacks :D
Day of delivery! It was a crazy for myself. Christa was acturally in the labour room right next to mine for the birth of another baby. She kept popping in to check if I was alright and I was for the time being, Then the labour pain struck aaaannnnd oh boy did it hit!! Just as I was screaming where the is my doula throwing my phone at my crying panicked mother and telling her to call my damn doula Christa came busting into my room (I like to picture her wearing a cape) saying I'm HERE. Perfect timing. I can't describe how helpful it was to have someone so calm and determined to calm me down and get this baby out. Turns out I had to get an emergency c-section and be put under so she wasn't allowed in but she supported and calmed my mother the entire time!! I laugh now because I like to think my mom stole my doula. She was amazing for both of us! I highly recommend her!!
