Testimonial for Georgina Taylor CD(DONA) HBCE
Georgina was an essential part of the birth of my second child. Being pregnant in the midst of a global pandemic brought on additional stress and uncertainty that was uncomparable to anything we have experienced. There was still a lot of unknowns around the impacts of COVID on pregnant women and hospitals were starting to limit birthing partners to one person. My husband was no longer able to attend prenatal appointments and women were having to choose between a doula or their partner in the delivery room. We questioned whether it would even be worth having a doula if he/she could not be there for the birth. Boy, am I glad we still moved forward with it! Georgina came as a recommendation from both my midwife and a neighbor who worked with her. After a wonderful hour long phone consult, I knew she was what I needed to navigate the remainder of my pregnancy and feel prepared for birth. We completed three in-home sessions, using the foundations of Hynobirthing, to create a positive, more relaxed and empowered mindset. Georgina has a wealth of knowledge around breathwork, visualizations and meditations that came in handy as I went into labor.A week before I went into labor, my hospital loosened restrictions and a second birthing partner was able to be with laboring moms- yay! After my water broke, Georgina came to our home and helped me through the early stages of labor as she kept me moving, but also relaxed. As I went into active labor at the hospital, her calming presence and voice helped both me and me husband during an extended and exhausting labor period. She kept me positive and motivated, but also informed as different decisions needed to be made. She helped us vocalize what we wanted to the hospital staff. As nurses switched shifts, my midwife popped in and out between clients, Georgina never left my side. I am so grateful to have had her there and attribute being able to have a successful VBAC to her support.
