Afshan is amazing!
My husband and I initially met with her around week 20 of my pregnancy. The plan was to meet a couple more times in person before the baby was due for more detailed info on pain management techniques and to iron out a birthing plan however the pandemic threw a wrench in our plans. Regardless, Afshan was super present, making it known she was available virtually for all our needs.
Thankfully, by the time I went into labor the hospital was once again allowing Doulas. We labored at home over the course of two days. Afshan was there throughout, helping to time and manage contractions and advising on when to head to the hospital. At the hospital, she stayed until after delivery, once again offering positions that would help me dilate and coaching me through the very new and at times scary delivery experience.
I’m so thankful Afshan was a part of the birth of my first baby. Can’t imagine having gone through it without her!
