Testimonial for Chelsey Whitcomb
Chelsey and I go way back to our college sorority days at HBU so I know her passion for everything she does would shine in her work as my doula. From the first time I spoke with her about a doula's role in my pregnancy to our postpartum visit, she has been a wealth of knowledge for my baby and I. Going into my first pregnancy, I wanted a natural birth, but due to preeclampsia, I had to be induced at 37 weeks which honestly scared me...but Chelsey kept sending me tons of resources and checking in on me daily. When it came time for the induction, the plans changed, again, due to hospital policy, and Chelsey sent me evidence-based articles to help support my decision when I didn't agree with my OB's drug choice for induction. During labor, she kept telling me "five more minutes, you can do this for five more minutes" to encourage me to push through my contractions and assisted me into different positions to promote labor progression. She worked so well with the hospital staff and was such a blessing to have during my labor and delivery, especially since my husband and I did not know what to expect at all! She even took pictures immediately after the delivery of our new family- pictures that I still cherish and show to everyone. I couldn't imagine my birth without the love and support Chelsey gave to us! I HIGHLY recommend her and can't wait for her to be a part of our next pregnancy!!
