Testimonial for Tina Bilodeau CD(DONA)
You NEED Tina as your doula! She was completely invaluable to my pregnancy, labor, delivery AND postpartum experience. I could have paid Tina with my right arm and I‘d still feel she was underpaid.
My first birth (a breech csection) went so terribly, I nearly didn’t have more children. So this time around I knew I needed to go into this with an ally early on. Tina was there for me every step of the way. She went above and beyond my expectations time and time again with her knowledge and professionalism. She was a warm and calming presence throughout my entire experience.
I was able to have a natural VBAC and the exact birth I had hoped for thanks to Tina. I am convinced that without her not only would I not have had the confidence to fight for my VBAC (there were several people-doctors- who tried to talk me out of it) but my delivery experience would have been extremely stressful/traumatic.
I cannot even list all the ways she helped me over the past year. She coached my husband and I one on one for delivery, instructed us how to prevent our baby from being breech. Helped me select the doctors who would support me and my plan and encouraged me to advocate for myself when the doctors and nurses tried to push me around. Stretched my back and hips when I could barely walk in the third trimester. And just overall made my pregnancy/ delivery a peaceful experience even under extreme stressors.
I will be forever grateful that I had Tina by my side throughout this experience and cannot imagine having more kids without her on my birthing team!
