Testimonial for Christina Pruitt
I became aquainted with Christina Pruitt six months prior to the birth of my son, when I attended the birth of my niece (my younger sister delivered at Fayette-Piedmont). I was so impressed with Christina's skills and soothing presence that I asked her if she would consider being my doula at the birth of my second child (which was going to be a VBAC). Christina agreed to be my doula and checked in with me throughout my pregnancy to see how appointments were going. She met with me and we discussed my birth plan and she advised various excercises to help me prepare for labor/birth and answered all of my questions. When my real labor began, Christina came to my home to offer support and encouragement and advise me when we should leave for the hospital (which was an hour away). Christina followed my husband and I to the hospital, and supported me throughout a grueling 36+ hour labor. During that time, she advocated for me with hospital staff, educated my husband and sister on techniques to help ease my back labor, suggested different positions, helped keep me hydrated, and reminded me to breathe/moan through contractions in a constructive way. Additionally, Christina took several labor and birth photos that I absolutely treasure. She never seemed to be concerned about the amount of time that she was away from her own family and I felt she was completely focused on me and my birth experience. I am SO GLAD that I hired her as my doula, and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking doula services!!!!
