Testimonial for Amy Durham
Amy was truly a blessing throughout our pregnancy, labor and delivery. We met her at a doula speed dating event, and her calming demeanor and varied experiences comforted us and put us at ease. Amy was incredibly helpful from the beginning, walking us through the different components of a birthing plan and answering our many questions. She always responded quickly and provided useful information on what was happening with each new check up. Amy was sure to share her knowledge and experience, but was never pushy about what we should do. She gave advice supported by research or her experiences and then let us decide how to proceed. When the big day came, Amy was ready as promised. After arriving at the hospital, Amy checked in with me, asked how things were going, answered questions we had and also introduced herself to our doctor and the nurses. As things progressed, Amy paid attention and took note without getting in the way of the nurses. She regularly checked in with me to make sure I was comfortable. Amy was at my side, holding my hand and coaching me wjem I started pushing. Suddenly, my baby’s heart rate dropped and the doctor starting communicating emergency orders, “Get the vacuum! Prep an operating room!” This, of course, was quite scary and unnerving. Amy very calmly walked me through what was happening and why. Though I was nervous, I was able to stay calm and continue pushing thanks to Amy’s support. Luckily, our baby was safely delivered. Following the delivery, Amy supported me as my baby tried to breastfeed for the first time. Although my labor wasn’t high stress and I did not need a lot of support, I would never change having Amy there with us. She gave us peace of mind and kept us calm during the fright and excitement of a first labor and delivery. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive, caring and calming doula.
