Testimonial for Priscilla Brickey & Jennifer Anderson LM, CPM, LMT, CBS, CD(DONA)
I wanted to share my delivery experience with my amazing doula Priscilla Brickey.
I had my first baby at the Memorial Herman hospital at Memorial City, it was a convenient location, but my whole birthing experience was not great. I didn't feel that the doctors and nurses really listened to me, no one really explained the full effect of the drugs given to me, and at one point I was told to either push the baby out in an hour or I was getting a Csection.
After I got pregnant with my second baby, I saw a reference for doula - Priscilla on this facebook group. To be honest, I was a little skeptical, after all it was going to be my second baby, and people always told me how much easier the second baby is. But after reaching out to Priscilla, i was very impressed by her experience and character, and decide to use her douala service for my delivery.
Long story short, she was extremely supportive prior to my delivery. On the day of my delivery, she got to the hospital very quickly (around midnight), I progressed quickly and I ended delivering my baby without epidural due to hospital's poor management. When the nurses were not being helpful and the doctors were absent, Priscilla was the one who helped me stayed calm, she gave me back massages, talked me through the processes, and advocate for me to the nurses. I didn't have a single doctor checking on me until after the baby came out and the anesthesiologist showed up too late. I would go as far as to say that my experience would have been pretty traumatic if it wasn't for her. She made my birthing experience a empowering and positive one.
After the delivery, Pricilla stayed in touch with me, gave me helpful tips on postpartum care and breastfeeding. She also provided pre and post delivery massages, which were all excellent.
I can't say enough good things about her. If you are looking for a doula, she's the one~!!!!
