Testimonial for Julie Pichon

When I found out I was pregnant with my first, the thought of having a doula by my side was always in the back of my mind. However, it wasn't until my third trimester that I actually reached out and found Julie. Julie was very calming and informative -- My first 2 trimesters were relatively easy, but I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and also activity restrictions and I wanted extra support to walk me through the final stretch. Julie walked me through the labor process and also doubles as a lactation consultant which was super helpful in starting breastfeeding off successfully. Julie made herself available to answer any questions or uncertainties that I had before, during, and even after labor. 

With Julie present in the delivery room, I was able to achieve the natural labor that I wanted. She not only supported me, but more importantly my husband through the duration. I feel that this was important because I was VERY focused on my contractions and making it through them to get to pushing. That left my husband to try to figure out how to support me without me being able to vocalize my needs. With Julie's experience she was able to help guide him into all the right things and also provide a helping hand to speak up for me to nursing staff. 

Overall I am so happy I found Julie and looking back am so happy with how my labor progressed! Highly recommend reaching out to her as well.
