Testimonial for Christina Pruitt
I knew before getting pregnant with my baby girl that I wanted to have a natural, unmedicated birth if it was possible. I found out I was pregnant right before all the COVID-19 craziness started about a year ago, in March 2020. With all the uncertainties looming, I wasn’t sure that I could afford a doula. Later in my pregnancy around the end of the second trimester, I decided I definitely wanted a doula and Christina was it! I am so glad I made that decision! Christina was an invaluable resource during the remainder of my pregnancy, labor, delivery, and even the first couple of weeks after giving birth. She helped me finish my birth plan, held me accountable for stretching and other exercise, answered questions prior to birth, helped me navigate decisions at the end of my pregnancy and labor/delivery, provided great pain management strategies during labor, was an excellent advocate and source of knowledge, took some pictures during my labor and delivery between constantly working to help relieve my awful back labor pain, went to get me and my husband food after my delivery, texted me each day I was in the hospital after delivery to check on us, and helped me avoid mastitis after I got home. My midwife also mentioned several times with post delivery visits in the hospital and office that Christina was a great help. My husband also really appreciated the education she provided about childbirth beforehand and having her in the room with us at the hospital. It definitely helped make it a less stressful experience to know that she was in our corner. I’m so very happy and thankful that I decided to use Christina as my doula. She helped me to achieve the natural (mostly unmedicated other than about an hour of pitocin that probably wasn’t even necessary) birth that I had wanted so badly for myself and my baby girl. My only regret is not hiring her sooner. I would definitely use her again if we ever decided to have another baby.
