Testimonial for Kelly Sunshine CD(DONA)
I just gave birth to my second child and used Kelly as my doula for both deliveries. She was absolutely instrumental in my postive experiences, both very different births and yet both she helped me feel supported and in good care! My first birth in Aug 2015 I had a breech baby and Kelly helped to encourage all options to get baby to turn. When ultimately baby would not turn and I had a c section she was there every step of the way. From taking pictures in the OR, securing the clear drape for me, to assuring my husband everything was going well (and getting him to do skin to skin while I was still in OR), and even helping baby to breastfeed when in recovery!
Then with my second child in May 2017 she was SO supportive of my desire to VBAC. Even when my confidence wavered because the midwives were concerned that baby was measuring over 9 lb she encouraged me to try and allow my body to do it's natural thing. She helped me labor naturally until 8cm (epidural) and then she coached me through an hour and a half of pushing to help me successfully vaginally deliver my 9 lb 11 oz baby boy! My husband's comment afterwards was something like, "Kelly is worth every penny just for the pressure she took off me and the instructions she gave me to help you through contractions!"
I highly recommend Kelly for any type of birth experience! She is fantastic to work with and if we have kids in the future she will definitely be present for the births!!!
