Testimonial for Aisha Awadallah
Aisha was a wonderful doula and I especially recommend her to anyone in their first pregnancy. I have vasovagal syncope (fainting disorder) and a lot of anxiety surrounding hospitals and medical procedures so I was particularly edgy about coping with pain and avoiding surgery as much as possible. Aisha educated my husband and me about the labor and delivery process and consulted with us multiple times in advance, covering all of my extensive concerns. As a result of her support, both my husband and I approached labor and delivery extremely prepared and confident in our decision to minimize medical interventions. She walked us through laboring positions to help manage some of the pain and equipped my husband to be the pillar of emotional support I needed to bear the experience. She also recognized early on in my labor that I needed a calm, quiet environment with minimal physical contact (except hand holding with my husband) and she fostered that environment in the L&D room. I’m very lucky that I was able to have a “natural” birth without any medication. It’s difficult to know how you’re going to react to the process of giving birth until you’re actually in it but Aisha’s open-minded and nurturing approach put me in a position where I felt supported and in control of my decisions. Thanks, Aisha!
