The second biggest miracle of this pregnancy was choosing Suzanne as our doula! When we started looking for a doula, all we knew was that we wanted someone with a lot of experience who could tell my husband tricks to help soothe me in labor, and coach me to endure the pain and look to the end goal. And she delivered! Pun intended. She set up a phone call and met with me in person to make sure I thought she was a good match for our family. I was reassured by her years of experience and certifications in emergency cases, since I chose to have a home birth. She gave us a tour of her Mary Poppins bag with everything she uses to take the mother's mind off the labor pains, as well as recommended some exercises to begin prior to the due date that would help prepare my body better. We met regularly leading up to the due date. At one point, she was out of town but connected me to a substitute doula she trusted just in case I went into labor. Throughout my pregnancy, she encouraged me to text or call her if I had any questions or concerns, which I took full advantage of and felt very comfortable talking to her about anything. I even sent pictures without receiving any judgment. She was responsive, informative, and reassuring. Sadly, she couldn’t attend the birth because I went into labor a week later when she was scheduled to be present at an induction, but she was sure to find us another substitute who was phenomenal! She continued to be my support postpartum and visited regularly to help me when I felt overwhelmed and/or exhausted, or just needed advice. I am so thankful for Suzanne's help and friendship!
