Testimonial for Tatiane Siqueira Doula
We hired Tatiane fairly early in our pregnancy. I knew that I wanted to hire a doula to help advocate for me in a hospital birth setting. After meeting with a couple that we didn’t click with, I met with Tatiane and she had the most gentle, calming energy. I knew right then she was right for us. Unfortunately I developed a ICP, a complication that required me to get induced at 37 weeks for the health of baby. Tatiane was very knowledgeable about inductions and prepared me that going through an induction may bring on a labor different than if we went naturally. She knew I wanted a natural birth and was very supportive of that. But after severe back labor and vomiting for 10 hours straight and being awake for 30 hours, I didn’t know what to do. She made me feel comforted in my decision to get the epidural and reassured me that in my situation, the induction changed things, and for me to get the vaginal birth I wanted, this may be the best route. She was right, and the rest of my labor and delivery was magical. During my hard labor she helped with counter pressure to allow my husband a break, but I never felt like she stepped on his toes as my number 1 supporter. She helped me get into more comfortable positions and helped me know things to ask the nurses for/about. Although my pregnancy and delivery didn’t go exactly how I had initially wanted them to go. I realized through this process that I could not control everything that happened, but having the knowledge to advocate for myself was exactly what I needed. Now that it’s over I can look back and say I wouldn’t change a thing! We will def be hiring Tatiane for any future pregnancies!
