Testimonial for Suzanne Ledbetter, CD
My first pregnancy ended up in an unplanned c-section due to ignorance/lack of support. With my second pregnancy, I decided to try for a VBAC and never had any experience with a doula before. I had been told how helpful a Doula was with the birth support and especially with VBAC, so I was determined to have a doula to support me during the labor and delivery.
After searching through profiles/interviewing several Doulas, I contacted Suzanne and knew immediately after the long phone conversation with her that she would be the perfect Doula for me. Suzanne is so knowledgeable, kind, and understanding. I felt very comfortable with her from the beginning.
I delivered after 41 weeks, and Suzanne kept me motivated, helped me prepare for labor, shared different exercises on daily basis and checked with me after every doctor visit. When my labor started, Suzanne came over to my place to help me decide the right time to go to hospital. During labor, Suzanne kept me moving and worked hard to help me accomplish my goals. She stayed with us for more than 24 hours and was a continual source of encouragement, positivity, and hand holding. She made a wonderful calming labor environment and made me feel so supported in any decision that I made. Although I ended up with c-section for other reasons, I know I got as far as I did because I had a birth doula present.
Suzanne was also a great comfort/support to my husband. I am so lucky to have Suzanne support me for the birth of my second child. She was always available to answer my questions and wanted me to have the birth experience I wanted.
Suzanne’s support for birth, postpartum, and more was simply a life saver. For anyone seeking a doula who is experienced/VBAC supportive, super knowledgeable, and will support you to the end, then Suzanne is who you want.
