Testimonial for Midwest Doulas- Doulas, Placenta Encapsulation
Where to begin. We were absolutely happy, glad, relieved to have worked with Midwest Doulas. One thing I can take away from this experience is that every pregnancy is different. It’s not just labor, it’s the whole life changing event from the day you find out you’re going to have a child to the day you see that child in your arms. For my wife and I we were not planning on children so when we found out we were pregnant joy and fear were at times undistinguishable emotions. But we stuck together and created a plan. We both knew we were great with child care but soon realized we knew nothing of child birth. We were lucky enough to have a good healthcare provider. Yet one thing I noticed, and joked about often is when we would go to the doctor's appointment they would ask, "so do you have any questions?". Our only response was, "what questions should I be asking?" because honestly, we just had no clue. My wife and I do also have good family support, but at the same time it was just hard asking them questions, especially about anxiety. That is where Midwest Doulas really stepped in for us. This was the first time someone asked us how do you feel. Not only where they addressing our fears and concerns, they prepared us for the birth process. Midwest doulas shared wisdom as well as knowledge that guided us through this pivotal moment of our lives. With constant contact and support by the Doulas my wife was able to ask questions and relieve anxiety and doubt in the weeks and days leading up to delivery. We will be forever grateful for Ale who attended our birth. Not enough words are left here to describe all that she had done during delivery for us but simply put she had our backs. She helped my wife relax, helped reassure, and empower her. She also helped me regain my strength so that I could be there for my wife. We will forever remember her kindness.
