Testimonial for Keisha Graham
Keisha was an awesome doula for my sixth birth. My previous births were medicated and one c-section. I was determined to do it natural this time around. She came to my home thorughout my pregnancy asking, me what were my expections were for my labor. Also what did I expect from her. The day of my labor, the doctor had to give me inducing medication, because my water broke 24 hours prior and contractions had not picked up. Keisha made sure I drank water so I wouldn't be dehydrated. She put a heat pad on my back to help me deal with the pain. We used the birthing ball, walked around the room to help move things along. Soon I was in transition and the contractions were non stop, Kiesha knew from our previous talks when I don't talk I am in a lot pain. So she rubbed my arm as my husband pushed on backed. It was what I needed to get through labor and soon my son was born without the use pain medication. I was so happy and couldn't have done it without her. I want to add that she advoctaed for me when the nurse tried to do internal monitoring bc the machine wasn't picking up my contractions. Kiesha had been keeping track of them and was able to tell the doctor the information. He took her information and told the nurse, there was no need for intervention. If I said I am having contractions then he will believe me and not the machine. Kiesha changed my point of view of doulas and I belive it's a must have!!!
