Testimonial for Heather Pound -DONA, Hypnobirthing, Photography
We had such a wonderful experience with Heather! We're really glad that we found her and chose her to be our doula. We met with her several times before birth and that was really helpful. We outlined a birth plan-she was open to every bit of it-and practiced labor positions. With her help and reminders during labor I was able to stick to my plan! With her supporting me and my husband I was able to get through labor with as minimal as pain relief measures as I hoped for. There were a few comfort measures we ended up not utilizing that I thought I would because I was so exhausted from a long overnight labor. She was with us at the hospital within 45 minutes (I think) after we called her to come in the wee hours of the morning. My husband had to leave for a little bit to take care of something so I was glad she was there with me. My husband was really thankful to have her too. He didn't quite know how to help me during labor but they worked together to support me and help me feel a little better. I think her encouragement and emotional support helped me the most! (Not any of my husband's strengths). After our son was born, she stuck around for probably an hour and a half, until my baby had his first feeding. I'm so glad she helped me with that because she was the only one in the hospital for 2 days that gave me guidance on how to do it. It's one thing to watch videos and read about breastfeeding and another doing it-her help was invaluable! It was so nice to have her come check on us a week and a half later to see how everyone was doing. We went over how labor and delivery went and talked about postpartum stuff. Knowing I had her prenatal and postpartum help, helped me feel like I wasn't alone. You can't get this type of support and service from anyone other than a doula! And Heather is good at what she does! So worth every penny and I wouldn't do it any other way!
