Testimonial for Suzanne Ledbetter, CD
We hired Suzanne for our second pregnancy and we are so glad we did! I labored really hard at home during my first delivery and wanted to have the support of a doula the second time around, assuming my experiance would be similar. It was not! Suzanne was available for what seemed to be around the clock support as my due date approached and passed. She visited us at our home to assist me with exercises to get labor started and provided more emotional support than I could have ever asked for (or even realize I would need).
After I moved my induction date four times, I finally was ready to have my baby. Suzanne provided me with the encouragement I needed to do the induction when it felt right for me--not anyone else. During the final hours of my labor we were met with some challenges that could have resulted in a birth plan I had not mentally prepared for. Suzanne offered emotional support and offered suggestions to help mitigate some of those challenges. If it wasn't for Suzanne, I truly believe my labor would have gone differently and in a direction I did not want it to. The nurse even commented on how impressed and experienced and helpful Suzanne was.
We really bonded with Suzanne during our experience-- she became part of our family and I am forever greatful for her. A huge bonus for us was the photography Suzanne offered-- maternity, birth and newborn photos. The birth photos were especially meaningful and Suzanne even offered to do a second round of newborn photos to ensure our entire family was able to particpate in those.
Without hesitation, I would hire Suzanne again. Heck, I'd even pay her just to be part of our family and visit us from time to time!
