Testimonial for Aubrey Williams, CD(DONA), SBD, CVD(TVL), CBE, VBAC PRO
I had my baby girl almost three weeks ago. Aubrey was there with be from the very beginning of labor-literally from the first contraction. Unfortunately I had to be induced due to some blood pressure issues. Thank goodness Aubrey was there to give me some backbone ; ] I was able to make it to the end with no IV medication and no epidural!! That was my main goal, besides having a healthy baby of course. There was no way I could have done it without her there to help me refocus when I started to panic a little... or a lot. I had back labor pretty much the entire time and she rubbed my back for what must have been hours with the best smelling lotion in the world. I felt constantly reassured and empowered by her. Even in the middle of my hardest contractions just knowing I had her there for me and hearing her say, "breathe" was a HUGE help and so reassuring.
Also I want to say that she was not just there during the birth, but 24/7 during my entire pregnancy. Any questions I had about anything would be answered for me almost immediately by call text or email. Then after the birth we received even more love and support in the form of a printed and emailed birth story, pictures of the birth and a home visit! I bet if I needed anything today she would be on her way in a instant. Thats just the kind of person Aubrey is.
I could go on and on about how awesome Aubrey is/was and how I would NEVER have another baby without a doula, but my baby girl is starting to whine for some boob. : ]
