Testimonial for Kathleen Wilson
I don’t know what I would have done without my doula Kathleen. I was heartbroken at 36 weeks to learn that my baby was stubborn and refused to turn from her frank breech position. I had two choices; get a cesarean or home birth. I chose to give up my wonderful birth center with midwives that I trusted and switch to a new midwife (recommended by Kathleen) and a home birth. I was bound and determined not to get cut open! My husband and I loved the new midwife and quickly embraced the home birth idea.
Kathleen was the perfect companion for my 36+hour home birth. From recommending the birth photographer, to giving me water when she knew I needed it, to back massages, to calming down the midwives; Kathleen did it ALL! She knew when to be by my side, and when to leave. She kept everyone in-line, and kept everyone optimistic in spite of the length of my labor. I had an amazing water breech home birth, and my baby, Heidi, is a joy. The birth was so exotic, in fact, that a full page picture has been published in Midwifery Today (summer issue 2011). I know for a FACT that without Kathleen I could not have had such a magical drug-free, intervention-free birth.
