Testimonial for Christi Ward
I moved to Arkansas when I was 25 weeks pregnant and I knew I had to find a doula but I didn’t know anyone from the area to give me recommendations. I went with a doula agency and came on to Doula Match. My husband and I met a doula from the agency and we didn’t have the best feelings. We felt like we were talking to a salesperson and not a doula. When my husband and I met with Christi she was so warm and welcoming she answered all of our questions and we were impressed with how many deliveries she assisted in. She made me feel like she was friend. She always checked in on me and she was willing to travel to my home to go over my birth plan She even came to one of my appointments. She was always positive even when my midwife wasn’t she always made me feel like she was on my side and never made me feel bad about my feelings. On the day of my delivery she kept open communication with us. Once she arrived at my house she could feel like it was time to go to the hospital I wasn’t ready to go but I’m glad she expressed her feeling for us to start going to the hospital. Once we arrived she was by my side and I was so happy she was there I was only allowed one person to go into the ER with me and my husband had to stay in the waiting room with my son. She showed me support she was so patient and when the nurses wouldn’t listen to me Christi did. I had my baby in less than an hour from arriving. Christi helped my husband settle into our room and once I got to the room she helped my with Breastfeeding. I‘m so happy that Christi was my doula I couldn’t ask for a better person to help me with my birth. Thank you!
