Testimonial for Bellwether Doulas
A good friend of ours had recommended Rachelle as a doula. We didn't have a conversation with her until two weeks before my due date, but when we did, we had one of those "Oh, yeah, THIS is what we want" moments. She was totally on our wavelength -- straightforward, practical, a good listener, lots of experience navigating the system we were in (Lifespan / Women & Infants). We really enjoyed and benefited from the three meetings we attended before our daughter was born.
The most important part, though, was how amazing Lauren, Hailey, and Rachelle were during labor and delivery. I had to be induced about a week and a half after my due date, and after a somewhat scary prenatal visit, Lauren was absolutely amazing giving us a rational perspective, talking us down, encouraging us to have a real meal and stay calm before the challenges ahead. Rachelle was the one there for most of labor & birth and she was exactly the coach I needed. I felt supported and firmly guided based on what she knew we'd discussed about our preferences, but not judged when I said or did one thing or another. I have no idea how it would have gone without them and I do not want to think about it.
