Testimonial for Melanie Suarez
When I found out I was pregnant in May 2018, I knew right away that I wanted to have a natural birth! I started asking my close friends and family if they knew any doulas in the area, I spoke with a few doulas before hearing about Melanie! Once My husband and I spoke to melanie, We knew right away she was the perfect match. She motivated us from the start and taught us so much about childbirth.
Unfortunately I had to be induced due to high blood pressure that arose the week I was due and for my safety and of the baby we agreed to an induction. Melanie came to the hospital after we realized that the baby was posterior and When the pain got really intense. She helped me find the strength to keep going and worked hand in hand with my husband to help me through. As soon as she walked in, she transformed the room. We had essential oils burning, soft music playing, positive affirmations board and everything that you can think of to help ease labor!! My favorite was the essential oils and the Reboso! Oh that reboso helped so much! After doing some stretches, the baby positioned himself in the correct position for birth! Everything was going ok but Unfortunately after some time due to complications, they had to take me in for a c-section and had to put me completely under. Even though this was the case, Melanie stayed the whole time while this was performed and made sure all was ok. She was our best advocate and I cannot thank her enough. She helped keep my husband calm since he could not be present in the operating room. I don’t know what I would have done without her, she truly is so passionate about what she does and it reflects in her work. She knows how to make you feel comfortable even in the midst of all the pain. I will forever cherish this memory. Her compassion, love and our Christian connection made the experience even more amazing! She is truly the best doula not in just the Atlanta area, but in the WORLD! ?? ??
