Testimonial for Amy Durham
I am so glad I hired Amy as my doula for my most recent pregnancy. I found her early on near the beginning of the second trimester, and I am so glad I did. Her support and guidance were just as valuable over the course of my pregnancy as during the delivery itself. My pregnancy ended up having some scary moments and complications, which lead to a lot of stress and anxiety, but Amy’s calm demeanor, helpful advice, and supportive, listening ear were so helpful to me.
During the actual birth, due to the pandemic, Amy couldn’t be with us during the first stage of labor. However, she was in close contact with my husband while I labored at home before going to the hospital. She helped him with suggestions for what I could do to keep things progressing and helped us decide when it was finally time to head in. Once at the hospital, Amy was a calming yet strong presence in the delivery room. She immediately helped me get in position when I expressed interest in trying to push in a different way than the doctor suggested, which was one of my biggest preferences to do differently than my first birth. She also helped me advocate for myself and clearly explained implications of the choices regarding newborn care procedures during the immediate postpartum period, and I was able to feel confident in my decisions.
I would highly recommend Amy as a compassionate, knowledgeable, and hands-on doula and am so thankful she was able to be with us at one of the most personal and life-changing moments of our lives. If we have another baby, Amy will be among the first to know!
