Wow, I am so glad I had Terri by my side. As a first time mom, I figured I could use all the help I could get. Terri was so calming yet assertive, which was a perfect balance to help me with pain management as well my focus. She was very informative in our meetings prior to my delivery. My labor and delivery was much shorter than I had planned for, but it was very intense. It was so reassuring having Terri there to talk to in order to validate me and answer questions about how my labor was progressing.
When labor was the most intense, Terri was at my home with me and helping with pain management.
Once we were are the birth center, things progresses quickly so it was not long before I was pushing. Although I was focused and quiet, I could hear every word Terri was telling me as she coached me along and provided encouragement. I hung onto her words, and her affirmations fueled me to get through the process.
Along with getting me through the tougher moments of labor, she was also a big support to my husband as well as captured these priceless moments through photos. I cherish those pictures as I look at them remember the moment my son came into my arms.
Terri stuck by our side even hours after our son was delived to ensure we were comfortable and had everythign we needed. She has also been a great support well after our delivery, making house calls to visit, texting to check in and offering advice and answers to my questions.
I would encourage everyone to add a doula to thier team. I can confidently say that my birth story was so positive thanks to her.
