Testimonial for Shelby Hicks, CD(DONA)
The moment I heard that Community Hospital had a Doula program, I knew that was the right choice for me and my baby. I was going to be a first time mother, but I wanted to feel like I was in as much control as possible through my labor and I needed someone by me who knew how to support me and my husband. We were assigned Shelby, and I couldn't have imagined a better match for us. She listened to our reasons for wanting a more natural birth, made us feel comfort with all of her knowledge and experience, and genuinely cared about bringing this baby into the world the way I wanted as much as possible. She also answered lots of questions from me leading up to the big day. I was in labor for 23 hours and she was there for the majority of it. It certainly wasn't easy, but her advice along the way and the direction she gave to my husband to make him feel useful was everything we wanted and needed. If/when we have another, I will purposely seek out Shelby to see if she's available again. You will always be in great hands with her!
