Testimonial for Suzanne DeSelms

I was 19 when me and my boyfriend found out we were expecting a beautiful baby girl. Around Christmas, me and my boyfriend decided that we wanted Suzanne to be our doula. She was very helpful and caring. She made me feel that giving birth doesn't have to be a scary thing, and she gave me confidence -- something I did not have. As I got closer to my due date, I found out I had gestational diabetes. I told Suzanne and she helped me find information about controlling it with diet so I did not have to use insulin, since she knew I was not a fan of needles. When my doctor said I was going to be induced at 39 weeks, I called her to let her know. Suzanne was with me at the hospital the entire 36 hours from admission to the birth of my baby. I pushed for 4 hours and came close to a c-section, but she reminded me that I could do it. I managed to deliver my daughter with the vacuum just in time. I really couldn't have done it without Suzanne."
