Testimonial for Arti Naidu
Being a first time mom can be absolutely nerve racking to say the least, but going through the pregnancy and facing the unknown of your first ever birth can really put your emotions and anxiety in high gear. With all that in mind, I chose to have a doula, someone to support me on this 9 month journey, to guide me, inform me, calm me, and support me emotionally, mentally and physically. That person was Arti and she was all that and more. She listened to my fears of birth and provided guidance and comfort in creating a supportive birth plan and environment for me. She was always a phone call away if I had any questions and nothing was off limits. From 1pm Wed to 10pm Thursday, she gave up everything to be at my beck and call and be by my side for the entire birth. She was in communication with me from 1pm to 5am as I was at home with contractions, and met me at the hospital at 6am and never left my side till 10pm.
My husband and mother were not aware of a doula, they didnt understand the role and quite frankly didnt feel we needed one. After the birth, they both showed their upmost gratitude for her and told me how thankful they were she was with us and really felt the birth would have been very different without her, and not in the good way.
If we were to have a second baby, I would not hesistate to have her by my side again, as I am forever thankful for her presence.
