I met Daisy 3 weeks before my first baby was due. Upon meeting her, I felt like she would be the support I needed during labor. She was sweet, attentive, and asked me about my expectations and concerns. As a single mom, I needed support and comfort during such an important event in my life. The doula I picked would be my main source of that. Daisy was my number one choice and thankfully she was available!
The days leading up to my delivery, Daisy made sure she checked in. She asked me how I was doing, if there were any updates and kept reminding me to let her know as soon as it was time for my baby's birth . Finally, when the moment came, I let her know and she arrived to the hospital immediately.
At the hospital, she kept track of my contractions and made sure I was comfortable. She would ask me if I needed water, if I needed a snack, or if I needed some chapstick. Simple things that I am very thankful for because they provided me so much comfort. As the contractions got closer together and stronger, Daisy started to apply pressure in my lower back, she provided me with breathing techniques and reminders of how strong I was. That was exactly what I needed! She helped me so much and I will forever be thankful for having Daisy with me when welcoming the most amazing gift in my life.
Daisy came to visit my baby and I about a week after he was born. Since I was breastfeeding she was so sweet and brought me some nipple cream. She also asked me if I needed anything and spent some time helping with the baby so that I could get some much needed rest. A few days later she also emailed me some pictures that she took when my baby was born. I was so into the moment of birthing that I totally forgot about capturing it so this was an amazing gesture!
Daisy was an amazing doula and if I were to have another child, I would choose her again!
