Testimonial for Heather Samuels
We decided to hire a doula because our first birth was a C-section, and my OB told me I wouldn’t be able to have a vaginal birth, but with Heather we had a successful VBAC! She came to our home when I felt It was time to go to the hospital and encouraged me to continue laboring at home. She was with me every moment; helping me through the contractions, suggesting different positions, stretches and exercises to help move labor along, and just rubbing my back when I needed it. Without her I don’t think I could have physically or mentally lasted that long without rushing to the hospital and begging for the epidural.
In the delivery room she was our constant, bringing us back to our plan, making sure we were confident in every decision we made, and that we were not being pressured into anything. With her caring, confidence, and knowledge I always felt assured and actually excited (believe it or not) throughout this excruciatingly long and painful experience. No feelings of dread and hopelessness as it was with my first delivery. I am very thankful for Heathers services, I looking forward to having her assistance again, and I recommend for all women to have a doula present at their birth!
