Testimonial for Nicki Ament Certified Doula, ILFS
Nicole Ament was my doula before, during, and after the birth of my first baby. She was everything I couldve hoped for regarding emotional and physical support throughout the whole experience.
Nicole helped me keep on track of my prenatal vitamins, all of my appointments, and was always there if I had any questions or concerns. She is very kind and willing to help in any way she can. Before it was baby time, Nicole and I sat down and planned what I wanted my birthing environment to be like, comfort items, etc. Her doula bags are so helpful!
During my delivery I laboured in the bathtub most of the time with my partner in there with me to help me get through the contractions. Nicole was amazing at letting us have our own time to connect but also being right there if we needed her at any moment. She helped me breathe through my contractions, held my hand when they became almost unbearable, and helped me communiicate with my midwife/ nurses if I felt nervous or confused when asking them questions or telling them about my birth plan. She is a wonderful advocate.
Then it was time to push! Nicole was right there beside me, reassuring me i could do it and guiding me through my midwife's instructions.
Finally, Nicole helped me throughout my postpartum venture. As my doula, she provided me with resources that could help me with the struggles I was going through and of course provided her own emotional support as well. I honestly feel like I couldnt have done any of it without her.
