I was put in touch with Terri through another friend who had a great experience with her as her doula. I first met Terri for a FaceTime call and immediately felt at ease around her! My husband and I have endured a lot of pain with infertility and loss and this pregnancy was incredibly scary for me. I was able to text or call Terri any time with questions. We even had a scary incident that happened on Christmas Day and Terri was quick to respond, put me at ease, and affirmed me that it was totally great that I reached out to her! Terri was able to support and champion me as it became clear I was going to need a scheduled c-section for my breech baby. She gave me support to help turn the baby in the weeks leading up but our sweet guy ended up staying breech. Terri helped me develop a beautiful birth plan that ended up being carried out exactly as I envisioned it in the OR and beyond. Even though I didn’t labor naturally, having Terri’s support throughout the weeks leading up to delivery and after was invaluable. She helped me troubleshoot physical pain and emotional anxieties. Her demeanor is that she is YOUR #1 fan - totally supportive of your hopes and affirms you while speaking up as needed. There were a couple times on the day of delivery where the hospital staff would ask my preference and I was able to have her right there to field the question for me as she knew my wishes and kept a clear head while I was overwhelmed with all that was happening. Whenever I speak with Terri in person or over the phone, I feel like I have a fabulous big sister there to support however she can. We trust her fully! My husband and I can’t say enough great things about Terri and our decision to have her be a part of our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum team!
