Testimonial for Vanessa Lewis, CPM (Cert Professional Midwife), CBD, PEP
I have always been scared of giving birth.
I come from the south of Italy where we don’t have many resources available to make the labor and birth easier. Thus, when I got pregnant last year I was terrified by the idea of giving birth and the pain associated. I spent hours and days watching YouTube videos where all sort of women were talking about their childbirth experiences. I hoped in this way I could feel better about what I was going through. But nothing worked and as the due date approached I was more scared.
One day I watched the testimony of a woman who had a Doula assisting her childbirth and she was very happy about it. Thus I decided to look for my own doula.
I interviewed 4 doulas before choosing Vanessa. As soon as I saw Vanessa I had no doubt that I wanted her to be next to me during those special moments. Her sweet eyes, her comforting voice, and her knowledge of the woman body and soul made me choose her right away. Today I have my 3 month old baby next to me and I can say that having Vanessa that day was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. She relieved my pain when I was in labor, made me laugh, gave me strength, gave me faith. She stood right next to me for 24 hours straight and took care of everythung I needed. I even let her cut my humbilical chord. She had and will always have a special role in my life. Vanessa is the best doula I could have ever asked for and I would choose her 1 million more times.
