Testimonial for Caty Jolley, CD, CLC
Caty has been my doula for my two most recent births. The first of these births was a hospital birth with an OB. My OB was not very naturally minded and was a great surgeon. I didn't do my research very well after moving to Michigan on why this would be so important! Everything was great until the delivery. I had forgotten my birth plan and the nurse at the hospital was starting an IV per my OB's personal requirements (which he did not tell me beforehand). Caty stepped in and wrote my birth plan out from an email I had sent her, had me sign, and I didn't need an IV! All the while supporting me and my husband during my natural birth! Then my OB walked in and told me I had a lip of cervix left to dilate and since he had a c section to go to in 15 minutes that he could hold it back while I pushed my baby out. It was awful! I told him to stop and Caty helped me speak up for myself. I labored for another hour and was finally ready to push without any intervention. I'm so happy Caty was there to help me stand up for myself and for the birth I wanted. The nurses all raved about her. When I got pregnant with my next baby she was my go to for any concerns and questions I had. She is not pushy and helps you to look at all points of view. She helped encourage me during the last few weeks of my pregnancy and I had the best birth ever! It was the quickest of all the four and I think that had a great deal to do with the spinning babies techniques she gave me to do. I highly recommend hiring a doula for your birth. Caty is amazing.
