Rhonda was my doula for my second child and let me tell you, if I'm having him another child, I do not want to have another doula, Rhonda is it for me!
First and foremost, Rhonda is an amazing and wonderful individual. I went into a preterm labor 6 weeks before my due date, and she still managed to come and be there with me for my entire labor/delivery throughout the night. She came right when I went into active labor.
Let me tell you, no one supported me as much as Rhonda that night. She helped me understand my rights as a patient and what medications I can ask for or I can reject. She stood by me and made sure I was comfortable with my decisions and If I needed to change anything, she was there to assist. When time came and I requested to get the epidural, although I had mentioned to her before that I did not want an epidural, she realized the amount of pain I was in and talked with me to see if I was really sure and she supported on my decision.
She was very active and helped get me in different positions, rotate sides, and helped me walk. When my back was in severe pain and I had no idea where I was, Rhonda was there to give me back rubs. After giving birth, she was there the entire time and made sure I was ok and comfortable and if I needed meds before she went home and the couple of days of my hospital stay, she came by each day to see how I was doing and asked if I needed anything. For my postpartum, she met with me for another 5 more visit and give me tips on how to relax and relieve my pain such as warm baths at least once a day.
I don't think its easy to find a doula like Rhonda, who would go above and beyond for you in your happy/painful moments as childbirth. Rhonda is amazing and knows what is doing.
