Testimonial for Austin Huston
You need Austin at your birth! In the last month of my pregnancy our previous doula had to cancel. I reached out to Austin & I felt comfortable with her right away! My water broke at 1 in the morning & she immediately responded. I couldn’t reach my midwife & she was calming & answered our questions. She met us at our birth center a few hours later. I had a really rough, long labor. I was puking non-stop, weak, and not progressing. She was prepared for everything & had so many ideas on how to cope with contractions, positions to try, rebozo, & honey sticks for when I couldn’t eat but I needed energy. She was always present & supported my husband & I. I didn’t realize that you're usually left to labor alone for most of the time at a birth center or hospital. It gave us peace of mind to have someone we trusted with us the entire time who knew everything & what was normal. I transferred to the hospital to get an epidural because my body was so weak. She had no judgment, only encouragement & info for what to expect. We had a pushy doctor who kept threatening a c-section (baby & I were healthy) & Austin kept us informed of our options. She helped us weigh the benefits of each side of any decision. I gave birth after 32 hours! Austin was awake & there for us most of that time because I couldn’t sleep & I kept asking questions lol. My husband & I agree that she is 100% the reason I didn’t have an unnecessary c-section. I've had a rough time postpartum & she's been so sweet every time I’ve reached out to her & is never annoyed with my million questions lol. If I get pregnant again, I’m calling Austin right after I tell my husband. I was the one advocating for a doula & knew it’d be helpful, but even I was surprised with how much more helpful it was to have her there than I ever thought it could be. Austin’s incredible.
