Testimonial for Leanne Bryce CD,PCD(DONA)
My husband and I were not sure whether we wanted a Doula at first, so I suggested that we look online and see if we could find a match. Leanne, was the first person we met and was just so easy to get to know that we went ahead and booked her on the same day.
We were first time parents, so had also signed up for the birth and babies classes with AHS, but I found it helpful to have Leanne explain about the different options, specifically, at the first meeting we discussed what we could expect from labour and delivery, went through our preferences. At the second meeting we chatted more about the actual event and the plan for when I went into labour. As my date approached and then passed Leanne was very supportive and checked in with me often to see how I was doing.
When I went into labour I checked in with Leanne right away, and we checked in regularly until I felt that I had moved along enough for her to join us. When Leanne arrived, she was great at helping me to relax and focus on my breathing. She was able to help me feel as comfortable as possible, while also making sure that my labour progressed enough for us to go to the hospital. Once we arrived at the hospital, Leanne really shone, it helped me so much to have her and my husband as a team. Leanne did lots of hip presses to help ease the pressure and helped my husband to keep me moving and standing, my most comfortable position! When I was feeling like I couldn't do it anymore she helped to come up with new positions for me to try and suggested when to rest. After the birth we had some minor complications and I appreciated it so much that Leanne waited with me and checked in over the next few days.
Without Leanne, I'm not sure how we would have done it! We are so incredibly grateful for her support, guidance, and care throughout this experience. We highly recommend Leanne!
