Testimonial for Ashley Peaches, CD(DONA), IBCLC, LMSW
My experience with Ashley was great! She was so helpful throughout the process of making a birth plan and helping to guide me in my decisions regarding my birth plan. She was also extremely helpful to me when it came to my labor. When I first went into labor, I called her and she was so helpful in her guidance! She advised me to call my doctor right away to let my doctor know what I was experiencing. I’m so thankful for that because I likely would not have called the doctor that early on if Ashley hadn’t suggested it. My labor progressed so quickly that when I arrived at the hospital approximately an hour after I called Ashley, I was fully dilated. Luckily, the doctor arrived in plenty of time, thanks to Ashley suggesting that I call her when I did, and I experienced an uncomplicated delivery. Unfortunately, everything happened so quickly that Ashley was not able to be in the delivery room as I wasn’t able to communicate to her quickly enough. However, Ashley was at the hospital when I delivered and came right up and spent an hour or so with us after delivery. She was so helpful, kind and understanding about us not being able to communicate with her quickly enough to get her into the delivery room before I delivered. She also had great advice for what to expect in the first few days after birth and assisted me in initiating breastfeeeding. She was also very prompt about responding to messages sent those first few days postpartum and was good about reaching out and checking in on me as well. She was also very helpful in her advice and information given at the postpartum visit. Overall, my experience with Ashley was wonderful. She’s very knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend her as a doula!
