Testimonial for Emily Wannenburg
When I met first met Emily I was not looking for a doula nor did I really know what a doula was. I was uneducated all around with the birth of my first child and did not have the best experience. I believe meeting her was nothing short of a divine connection because she made it possible for me and my family to experience an amazing and unforgettable birth the second time around. From our first meeting I felt encouraged and supported. Not once did I feel judged for the lack of knowledge I had or for me wanting to keep my options open regarding use of pain meds or epidural. I used to think (and OB’s will tell you) people only need a doula if you want a completely natural labor and that is just NOT the case! I opted for the epidural after laboring, with Emily’s help, to 9cm and her support did not stop there. She was there for anything I needed, helped reposition me and even shared her knowledge with the nurses and OB for signs to look for when it’s best for me to start pushing. Not only did I feel supported, but both my mom and husband did as well. Emily went out of her way to involve my husband in pain reliving massage and calming techniques so that he was able to be a part of the labor experience. He loves to tell his friends how skeptical he was at first but now he couldn’t imagine not having Emily by our side. Every mom loves to give expecting moms advice, and the first advice I always give is to hire Emily as your doula! It is the best decision we made for our family and our baby.
