Testimonial for Nicole Bengtson CD(DONA),certified BRM® pro,HypnoBirthing
Nicole was the absolute best to work with. She is incredibly kind, knowledgeable and patient. While Nicole was great in helping us to prepare for the birth of our first child, she was instrumental in getting through labor and delivery. I couldn't have even imagined how helpful she would be!
Prior to birth, she helped us learn more about each stage of pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum. She provided exercises and tips to navigate through third trimester aches and pains. Nicole listened to our hopes for labor and delivery and partnered with us to build our birth plan. She was knowledgeable about Hypnobirthing and helped us figure out how to incorporate it into our birth plan. With her help, we felt confident and prepared heading into the birth of our first born, even with the ever changing world of COVID-19.
When labor started she was a calm, steady, reassuring voice. Little did we know that she would be providing support for 27 hours! She helped us stay comfortable at home and rest until it was time to head to the hospital. Nicole suggested different positions and remedies throughout the contractions and helped my husband feel comptent and comfortable providing support for me. She encouraged our plan for a water birth and helped make the hospital room as peaceful and serene as possible. When the time came for us to alter our plan from a water birth to an natural birth with an epidural, she helped us navigate that as well.
With Nicole by our side, we felt like we had a guiding voice and safe space to bring our first born into the world. If we decide to have another baby, I wouldn't think of having anyone else for our doula.
