Testimonial for Emily Campbell
When I first found out I was pregnant I knew immediately I wanted a doula; someone who had been through the journey of child birth and could be there to support my boyfriend and I. We initial interviewed 6 doulas and Emily was our final interview. We just clicked and I knew she would be the one for our birth. Over the course of my pregnancy we met a few times. She came to our home and walked us through the process of labor and what we would expect. She always made sure to ask questions and to check in with me about how I was feeling. As my pregnancy neared the end my little guy showed no signs of coming on his due date. She made an extra visit to my home to take me through a series of exercises to help get him in the optimal position for birth. Well 42 weeks rolled around and I had to be induced, which was far from what I had planned. She would always gently remind me that babies have their own way of entering the world. So on March 5th I was induced. I called her around 7:30 that night and told her we were ready for her to come to the hospital. She arrived and our natural child birth plan ensued. Through this unmedicated portion of labor her support never waivered. She set the room with lights and music and made it as comfortable as possible. She was a constant support for my boyfriend. Day 1 turned into day 2 and baby still had not arrived. Yet Emily was still there. She never left our side. On the beginning of day 3 my little guy entered the world via emergency c-section. When we returned to our room Emily had already packed up our stuff for us to be transfered to mother baby ward. I told her she should go ( it had been nearly 2 full days) but she remained and supported us through the first hour with our baby. She took beautiful photos throughout my birth that i will be forever grateful for. I know we made the right decision in choosing Emily to be part of our birth story. We will be forever grateful!
