Testimonial for Elise Benoit
I met Elise "My Doula" the nickname I call her on September 11th at 35 weeks. I attended a Doula meet and great at my Birthing Center and instantly i felt like i didn't need to look for another option we made eye contact while others were talking in the meeting and spoke about what they were saying. After the meeting we talked alil more and i said i would email her so we could meet again. The first time we met it was easy going like i knew her for away it was like i was meeting a friend not a medical person. She made sure i understood exactly what she would be able to do for me during the rest of the pregnancy and during my labor. She was the first person i texted when i had contractions at 5am on Sunday morning she only took 10 mins to text back i felt so much comfort knowing she was there for me she said it was early labor by the way i described how i was feeling and gave me some things to do. I did those for about 3 hours texted her again n said i felt more contractions so she said call my Midwife and tell her she thinks we should come in so i called and everyone met me at the center. While there she was by my side and my family's side the whole time she wasn't just my Doula she was everyone's she made sure everyone was good to go. She brought me food everything I needed from start to finish kind words and encouragement. My back was in so much pain and she had a heating pad and did massages the whole time.If i had to do it all over again she would be there again no question. And after the birth with the effects of postpartum she kept me on a positive path with helping me have placenta pills and letting me know I'm strong and can do this mom thing.
