Testimonial for Fatima Abdallah
I feel that the right doula for you can change everything. She was our support, even for my spouse. Fatima was a game changer and for me, & one of my fondest memories of my birth experience, in fact, I can't imagine not having our texts from that time in my phone! Fatima was an angel sent to us & now she's a part of our family. No matter what kind of birth you want, consider her as your doula because birth is unpredictable but if you have the right person by your side, it can make all the difference; no matter what path you end up taking to get to your baby. My experience with her was wonderful and I wouldn't want to have another baby unless she is with us. She was kind and made herself available whenever possible. Very low-key and relaxed which can be so nice if you're feeling stressed by an upcoming birth. She spoke to us on the phone many times, came to meet us for an evaluation, birth history, and to go over my goals. She gave me exercises to do and a birthing ball to borrow. We learned new techniques and I got book suggestions as well as some homework to do for visuals, etc. We met again before the birth. Leading up to my birth, she was fasting for Ramadan and STILL stayed with me during all the hours of the wee morning. She helped support us in every way, securing our dream birth. When I started bleeding too much, she stayed with us through a hospital transfer and everything that followed until I was in a stable state and returning to health. She made a postpartum visit to me and demonstrated the art of belly-wrapping, checked my health (physical, mental & emotional), checked the baby and dropped off some DELICIOUS postpartum meals for a healing mom and nursing baby. SO amazing and unexpected. Best of all... I got a typed story of my birth to give my baby. I will always treasure that. You can tell when someone really loves what they do and with her, it's obvious! Thank you, Fatima, you will never know how much you mean to us.
