Testimonial for Emily Wannenburg
I am 5 weeks postpartum and someone recently asked me how my delivery was. I told them it was great! My baby did have to be delivered by forceps but it was great. They looked at me like I was insane and said “that’s a good birth for you?”. I said yes and let me tell you why, it’s because my doula Emily Wannenburg. My first birth was full of interventions that slowed labor and full of complications after. This time around I wanted to try to go medication free but I needed support from someone. Emily was that for me. She believed in me, empowered me, and gave me be resources I needed to be able to have an unmedicated birth. She helped me find a new doctor, one that would honor my wishes. Because of Emily I went into labor in my own home, my water broke in my kitchen. This was so empowering for me because my body and baby were able to decide when it was time for him to come into this world. I made it through 3 hours of pushing all natural which was also extremely empowering. I could not have done this without Emily by my side coaching me. In the end I did have to have an epidural because the baby needed help coming into the world but it was ok. I had been given the chance to do it on my own and feel my body work the way it was intended to do so. I would never have had this opportunity without Emily as my advocate. Emily is an extremely special person who is meant to do what she is doing. She has a passion for her work and the women she supports. She was the best decision I made in my pregnancy and my husband will say the same. Even after birth she has been a major support for me. I will be forever thankful for her for giving me a voice and being my advocate.
