Testimonial for Shelby Hicks, CD(DONA)

When I first hired a doula I did so with the idea of not only helping me, but my husband. He was deployed with our first, so I felt that I knew what to expect and what I wanted out of a birth, but that he would not know the same. I wanted a nuetral person to help him assist me in a way that made our birthing experience everything I have wanted. We have now had 2 beautiful little boys with the help of Shelby. She is so calm in the moment and guides you to do exactly what is needed to have the perfect natural birth. She was able to assist in methods during contractions that I would have never known to relieve pain and pressure, and gave my husband tips to make the labor go as smoothly as possible. I recently gave birth, completely natural, to a 9lb 14.4oz baby boy, and know I would not have been as sucsessful without her knowledge and guidance. My recovery was amazing because my birth went so well. Even knowing what I know now, after 2 births and the ability to have my husband assist, I would still hire her for every single birth. She bring a sense of peace to the room during those moments. I am so thankful that she has been there to guide me through two births that while both entirely different, she was there every single step of the way. Shelby also comes back to visit, and has notes of what occured during my labor and delivery. It is nice to look back at a timeline of events and see how things progressed that you may have forgotten or never known. During our first birth my husband did not understand why you would need someone to help you give birth, he thought that was the doctors jobs, and he now reccomends Shelby to everyone we know welcoming a baby soon. She has become such a special part of our family and a pivitol role in our amazing birth story. SO thankful for her!
