Testimonial for Emily Campbell
Emily’s presence was so valuable at the birth of our son! I’m no macho man, or subscriber to set roles based on gender, but I must admit that when the mrs. Said she wanted to have a doula, I thought, “what’s that?” And “we can handle this ourselves.” I’m happy to say that I was so wrong. Emily was whatever we needed her to be in the labor and delivery room. From my point of view, she was an experienced and calm voice to help work through questions and decisions posed by doctors, nurses, etc. and NEVER did she voice an opinion that she wasn’t asked about first. I definitely didn’t have all the answers, but I never felt like I wasn’t needed. I think that’s really important for us guys to know. We are still necessary and important. Emily was a great support to both of us. When I got hungry, but wouldn’t have been able to walk away to eat, Emily was there to be with her. If my back or hands got sore from rubbing or holding my partner, Emily was there to spell me. Our labor was long and arduous...to the tune of 3 days, and Emily never left, even though we told her she could. The room was freezing cold. Even I wanted to walk out. She never complained. After our son was born, Emily provided lots of support and recommended resources that she trusted for breastfeeding, recovery, and any other thing requested by my partner. I can’t recomment Emily enough as a doula. I’d have her at the birth of any other child we might have. I truly feel that things would have been worse and More stressful without her there.
