Testimonial for Silvie Falschlunger
I had my daughter via c-section a year and a half ago, and knew I needed to find the right doula to help me have a VBAC with my son - Silvie was it. Silvie came recommended by several moms in our community. I called her one evening, and she was at my house the next morning to meet with me and my husband. Other than listening to what we wanted and helping me make a birth plan, all the normal things you expect a doula to do, Silvie went beyond what I expected. I truley felt like I had some one that helped me manage pain during labor, but also a highly educated expert about labor, delivery, postpartum and babies. First and foremost, she gave me the courage to have a VBAC and made me believe in myself (it worked). Second, during our visits before I delivered, she educated me on posture and diet - how to stand, sit and walk around to ensure baby is in optimal position, and what to eat for baby's health and mine. During labor, Silvie was by my side the entire time, from exercises to massages and bringing me anything I needed, she was my advocate, asking the nurses questions when I didn't understand something - she was my true advocate but also friend. Silvie is the doula that we envision when we make the decision to find a doula in the first place: some one that will help with the pain of contractions to the friend that brings us soup when we need it. What i found so uniquely special about Silvie is her priority to take care of the mom before, during and after delivery. She was so attentive to what I needed before I even realized I needed it. She is a gift.
