Testimonial for Francie Webb
Francie was the absolute best doula I could ever have asked for--I know without her support I would have had a very different labor experience! Her knowledge base is incredibly deep and she is very non-judgemental and supportive. In our prenatal conversations, she listened to all my hopes, fears, and preferences and asked thoughtful questions to help me better understand my complicated feelings toward my labor options. We never felt rushed during these visits/conversations -- it was clear that she was there to answer all our questions and to make us feel as prepared as possible. My labor began in the middle of the night and Francie picked up her phone immediately when my husband called her, asking questions to help us determine our next steps and to keep us both calm. She and my husband were in touch regularly from that point on, and she arrived at our apartment early the next morning when we determined that things were picking up. I was in active labor by then and to be honest I have NO idea how we would have gotten to the hospital without her guidance and help. She helped me to breathe through a very difficult Uber ride to the hospital and was with us every minute through the end of my delivery. I did not have an epidural which I'm pretty sure would have been impossible without her coaching me through every.single.one. of my contractions. She held my hands, applied pressure on my back, talked me through my breaths, and suggested some positions and props. She got along great with the medical staff at the hospital, and I could tell that they appreciated all she was doing. She also helped me to gently advocate for my preferences. After my son was born she stayed with us until he was latched and helped answer all our postpartum questions by text and during a long postpartum visit, and continuted to check in with us periodically even after our visits were over. We are forever grateful to her for her part in the safe, joyful delivery of our son!
