Testimonial for Chavah Childbirth Services Inc.
Worth every penny and more! We signed up for doula service at Chavah and we are in love with our doula, Heather, who is the most wonderful human being. The emotional support my husband and I received was priceless. Our baby decided to come a month early, which was a huge surprise and quite emotionally distressing. I wanted a homebirth; however, our midwife appointment went sideways and we ended up in the hospital for "routine blood tests", which then turned into "you are giving birth ASAP". I hate hospitals and I didn't want to be there. Heather's appearance in the-nick-of-time when I was losing my cool was a true blessing. She calmed me down and made my hospital triage experience wonderful! She brings the feeling of home with her, which goes to show that home can be anywhere if you are with the right people:) The contractions were amazingly bearable and became more meditative because of Heather's support and, ofcourse, my husband as well. But, I feel that Heather brought out the good and grounded both my husband and I, which made the "pre-labour" contractions the way they were. When the OB notified us that our baby was not able to handle the pre-labour contractions and that I would need an immediate c-section, I was so glad to have Heather by our side because of the emotional support she provided allowed me to make the right decision for us. We went from home birth to the polar opposite, c-section. That transition would not have been possible without Heather. She was not just a "service provider" to us. We came to consider Heather our fairy god mother:)
We also signed-up for the private birth education with Erin. Another purchase worth every penny and more! The information we received from Erin was so well organized and digestible. We felt well informed at the end of the day. We both felt equally empowered and excited about the birth because of Erin!
