Testimonial for Michele Peterson
We highly recommend Delivered Doula and Michele, even if they could not be present during our birth because of the pandemic. Life's full of anxiety, giving birth will be a stressful time, and partners need to focus on their wives during the entire process. You cannot replace the expertise of these 3, readily available at any time with excellent and experience-driven advice. Even if you memorize all comfort positions and relevant medical information on every possible process involved, you will not be able to recall it all during strenuous times, and you will not be able to effectively split effort between your partner's needs and advocating for your positions while making fully informed decisions. On several occasions, we made decisions against or deferred medical advice from nurses or doctors who generally take a non-tailored and lowest-risk approach to medicine that often contradicts evidence-based science (sadly, it's America and a certain percentage of decision-making will be influenced by business and litigation considerations). And we came out better for it, with less stress and handwringing. Having the Delivered Doula team available to constantly brief you on the risks, options, and next steps will be invaluable to ensuring you have a positive experience leading up to, and during, the birthing process. We went with doulas on our second birth without having an option to do so on the first (first child born in France). In person or not; indispensable.
