Testimonial for Chloe Wilcox. CD(DONA)
Chloe was such a huge support to me and my husband during the delivery. She arrived just in time as I was entering "active labor" and I was worried that the pain would be too much for me to bear for the remainder of the delivery. She assured me that my pain ceiling was close and that I could do it. With that knowledge, I decided to proceed without any pain interventions and hopped into the labor tub which immediately brought the pain level down a notch. She held my hands and let me squeeze them during each contraction and my husband (who was in the tub with me) would squeeze my hips to help counter the immense back pain that I had. With the two of them at my side I was able to manage an intense and quick labor and baby was born only 3 hours later! With each contraction, I heard Chloe whisper encouraging comments to me, telling me that I could do it and validating the hard work and effort that I was doing. When it came time to push, she continued to soothe me with supportive phrases and iced my forhead with a washcloth to help me fight off the nausea. My husband also felt hugely supported by Chloe and he (on his own accord) wrote her a lovely thank you text which I wish I could include here in this testimonial. After we delivered the baby, she stayed to ensure that I was confident in getting baby to latch on to my breast and to make sure I ate something since I was so hyped up on adrenaline. A few days later she checked in on us and brought me some beautiful flowers and the most delicious lactation cookies I've ever tasted! She also gave me a detailed account (in writing) of our delivery story. I was so touched and appreciative of her attention to detail and I would whole-heartedly refer her to any one of my friends who is looking for a compassionate and experienced doula. I look forward to hiring her again!
