Testimonial for Amy Tirrell
We used Amy with the birth of our first child, and were so happy with her, and the services she provided. We met with her several times before the delivery to discuss a birth plan, pain management, and the birth process in general. She was so knowledgable, but also really helped us decide what we wanted... At the hospital, she was very helpful in letting the staff know what I wanted and did not want, which was great, especially since I wasn't up to doing that. I had a long labor (almost 18 hours), and Amy was with us the whole time. She helped my husband coach me, and offered help with pain management. I really don't think that I would have been able to deliver naturally if she had not been there encouraging me. After our beautiful baby was born, Amy was so helpful with breastfeeding. I called her multiple times with all sorts of questions, and she is always available and willing to answer my questions (about anything too -- cloth diapering, home schooling, vaccinations, etc).
Probably the thing that was the most special about having Amy there was the birth timeline and pictures that she took. My husband was so focused on me, that he wouldn't have been able to do these things. Amy created a detailed journal of my labor and delivery and gave it to us, as well as pictures of the whole process. We treasure those! We would highly reccommend Amy as a doula!
