Testimonial for Suzanne DeSelms
Suzanne was my doula for my homebirth, and having her there made a huge difference. She cheerfully showed up in the middle of the night and was invaluable support all through my labor. In fact, she was invaluable support all through my pregnancy. She answered a million questions and constantly calmed my mom-to-be fears and worries.
I know that my labor was as successful as it was because she was there for me. She was also great support for my husband, who was a bit overwhelmed by all the intensity of labor. She knew my birth plan well, and made sure I got what I wanted. For example, my midwife suggested I stay out of the tub in early labor so we didn't slow things down. By the time labor was getting more intense, I had almost forgotten the tub was there, but she reminded me of that option, and her timing was perfect. She also suggested a position change toward the end of labor that made a huge difference. I was getting worn out pushing, and I really appreciated her judgment. My baby was born soon after I moved from the water to a birthing stool.
When I have another baby, Suzanne will be my doula again and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any mother.
