Testimonial for Danielle Randell CD(DONA)
First of all I want To start by saying I went Back and forth for a while trying to decide if hiring a doula would be worth it for me. My husband was the one who ultimately helped me make the decision and we decided "let's just go ahead and do it, it'll be worth it no matter how our birth goes" Well needless to say Danielle was Everything I didnt Know I needed!! She was the calm to my storm when my labor went from 0-100 in a matter of no time! She kept me calm over the phone when I was laboring at home, helped me breathe through contractions that were so intense I was Considering an epidural as soon as I got To the hospital(my ultimate plan was unmedicated, and no matter what I did not want to give in to my own doubts) Danielle had such a calming voice, reassuring me that no matter how much "pain" I was in that I could do it! She talked me through every contraction on the way to the hospital which helped me focus on breathing and not the fact that I almost Had my baby in the car. At the hospital she was amazing during the delivery of our baby girl and after delivery she stayed by my side until all was said and done! As quick as my birth was, I cant Say it enough..She was worth every penny! I would Pick her over and over again and am so thankful she was there cheering for me and giving me all the words of encouragement! My husband and I are extremely thankful for her, she was God sent!!
So I have To say, for anyone who is "on the fence" about hiring a doula (Danielle) she is 100% worth it! And that's coming from someone who got to the hospital and had a baby in 18 minutes.
I forgot To mention the before birth care that she gives...she is full of knowledge and to be honest I didnt do Much of any prep work for an unmedicated birth (crazy on my part) because I had her and knew she wouldn't let me fail. She reassured me every time I had Any doubts and kept everything so positive! Needless to say, I think we will be friends forever!
