Testimonial for Tina Bilodeau CD(DONA)
While stationed overseas with my husband we had the chance to start a family. We had been trying for almost two years. I was getting a prenatal massage when the lady started talking about a birth plan and if I had thought about geting a doula. I had never really heard about doulas so I went home and looked it up. I was thrilled! I thought it was the perfect thing for us since we had no family who could be there for us. Unfortunately I could not afford one and had some help but my birth was rough. The people who were supposed to be there for me were not, and my whole birth was just a disaster, besides the whole beautiful miracle. I met Tina at a birthing class. She sat next to me while she explained stuff to all of us mom's. I really liked her personality and wished she could've of been in the playing cards beforehand. Luckily, Tina had saw me the day I went in for my emergency induction and she followed up with me a couple of days after I got out of the hospital. I had told her everything about how I felt alone and I was a wreck. The person who was supposed to help me never came back and I was just a mess. She told me she would be over as soon as I sent her my address and started helping me out. We worked out a pay plan so I wasn't burdened and we came up with a schedule to help me out. The best thing that ever happened to me or my baby has been Tina just "checking up". She probably saved me from a really dark path. She helped me feel human again and I could never repay her for that... Doulas are a rare thing, but they shouldn't be. I was so blessed to meet Tina. I hope one day, if I decide for another baby, she will be there by my side helping me along every minute. I couldn't do it without her.
