We had the pleasure of having Terri as our doula for the birth of our first child. We were so pleased with our experience that we asked her to come back and be present for the birth of our second child (our daughter).
Terri kept in touch with me and visited us prior to delivery. She was there to listen and calm my various worries that I had surrounding this pregnancy. My water broke at home the day after my due date. I had no contractions but still had to go to the hospital to be monitored. The doctors wanted to start me on pitocin right away but Terri helped me advocate for myself in getting them to wait a bit to see if my body would start contracting on its own.
Prior to meeting us at the hospital she sent me some positions and exercises to try. I really appreciated having her in my corner and feeling supported in the decisions I was making.
When labor got going, it was brutal and I was attempting to give a natural birth my best effort but I was requiring pitocin and there was no tub to get in and not much room to move around because this hospital had no wireless monitoring. Terri helped me with several position changes and made sure I stayed fed and hydrated. When I asked for an epidural she was totally supportive even though I was feeling disappointed in myself, she was happy to see me finally get comfortable and rest.
Terri stayed up and talked with me while my husband slept until it was time to push. She was very much like a mother to me during both of my deliveries. She brings a very calming feel to the environment and she just makes you feel like no matter what's happening, everything is going to be alright.
We absolutely love Terri! We don't plan on having anymore children but part of us wants to just so we can hang out with her again! She is a wonderful person and an amazing doula.
