Testimonial for Nicole Bengtson CD(DONA),certified BRM® pro,HypnoBirthing
I had a doula for my first pregnancy and was able to have the birth I wanted - no medications, natural delivery. My second pregnancy was very different as I had twins and the lower one was breech. I sought out Nicole specifically because she has her own twins and her knowledge of resources in the Twin Cities has been invaluable. I am so grateful that I hired Nicole. I was initially disappointed when my OB kept encouraging a c-section (and it ended up being needed) and thought that a doula would be unnecessary but I was wrong. Nicole was present and checked in a regular basis throughout my pregnancy. She encouraged me to be assertive with the doctors, listened to my concerns and helped me to adjust to changing plans. I am grateful that they allowed Nicole into the OR with me while preparing for the procedure as she was the calm, supportive presence that both my husband and I needed during that time. Throughout the hustle and bustle of the c-section, one strong memory I have is Nicole calmly bent over near my face, telling me what was going on, checking in with how I was doing and helping to calm my fears. She stayed with me during post-op while I had one son and my husband was with our other son. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone who is pregnant as she helped me to have the best birth experience I could even if it did not go as I had initially thought.
