Testimonial for Afshan Abbasi RN-MSN

Our experience with Afshan far exceeded any expectations I had about working with a doula. My husband and I decided to hire a doula because this was our first experience with pregnancy/labor. When we met with Afshan we knew right away that she was the right doula for us. Her calm demeanor was exactly what I wanted for my birth experience. 
When it got closer to my due date, Afshan checked in often. When I told her that I was experiencing some labor symptoms 3 weeks before I was due, she texted me daily to make sure everything was ok and answered any questions I had. She was even more responsive Than my doctor and I felt more comfortable asking her questions.  When my water broke 3 weeks early and I was admitted, Afshan arrived promptly and stayed with us through the entire process. She helped us make decisions in terms of when to get the epidural, helped ease the pain during labor with her massage techniques ooo and distracted me with conversation so the time flew by. It honestly felt like having a good friend in the room. Her interventions and recommendations really helped speed up my labor process and I was able to deliver my baby without a c section which is what I really wanted. We couldn't imagine our experience without Afshan and recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.
