Testimonial for Francie Webb
My husband Dev and I were honored to have Francie as our doula, for the birth of our daughter Lucia. Throughout my pregnancy, Francie provided invaluable resources regarding NYC hospital options, natural birth practices and other questions that came up for us. I had a long and difficult labor, 43 hours. Francie came to our apartment at hour 19 and stayed with us through the end. She helped us turn our L&D suite into a wonderful birthing room, with dim lights and a quiet atmosphere. She offered tons of support throughout the many hours of labor, including laboring postures and positions for me and my husband to try. She brought in a doula acupuncturist at one point, who provided great relief. At 35 hours, when I lost my composure completely and requested an epidural, she was very supportive and non-judgmental of my choice. She called in another doula much later in the labor, to allow Francie to take a brief rest and to offer some new postures to encourage Dilation. She stayed with us for a few hours after our beautiful daughter was born, until they moved us into our room for the night.
I believe that the wonderful nurses at our hospital (NYU) respected my initial wishes to have a natural birth because of Francie’s calm presence and kindness to the staff. I can’t recommend her enough and will always be grateful for her!
