Testimonial for Ana Hernandez
Ana was my birth and postpartum doula. Her services were very helpful and awesome.
For Prenatal, we had a few appointments, which were always very informative. Ana taught my husband and I some Spinning Babies techniques on our bed that we can use for both comfort and optimal fetal positioning. She was always prepared with tools and techniques to help us plan my birth and postpartum experiences, such as offering books for us to read, Pregnancy tea, Nesting workbook, etc.
When it came time for my birth, which I had to be induced due to Preeclempsia Hypertension, Ana helped my husband and I work out and discuss any medical interventions the doctors were throwing our way. During active labor, she helped to remind me of positions, movements and breathing techniques to cope with the contractions.
I remember Ana telling me to “listen to your body” when I was fully dilated and felt the urge to push but no doctors were around. I continued to push a more couple times, then when Ana saw my baby’s head crowning, she informed the L&D nurse who urgently called the doctor. After a few more pushes my baby’s entire head and body slipped out and the doctor caught her just in time.
Ana‘s Postpartum services were awesome and the main reason why I hired her, because that’s her “bread and butter”. Each visit she brought goodies like soup, teas to help with lactation and oils for massage. The bodywork, belly wraps and vaginal steam were the main aspects in each visit and well worth it. It was nice to be pampered with each of Ana’s postpartum visits.
Overall, my experience with Ana’s birth and postpartum services were excellent. If really exceeded our expectations, made my husband and I feel supporter and helped me recover very well. I would highly recommend her to any of my family or friends that are or will be expecting a baby in the future.
