Testimonial for Cece Peace
Cece is a prime example of what a Doula should be. Not knowing much about birthing or what to expect from the labor process (as this was our first child), I was relieved and at ease to have Cece with us through the entire process as she carried herself as a well versed and educated individual. We had an induced labor due to a mild case of gestational hypertension, and when we arrived at the hospital to get checked in, Cece was waiting at the door to help get us settled. I am never good about thinking of proper questions to ask the doctors and nurses, but that didn't matter because she had us COVERED asking quality questions that pertained to my wife's care, my family's well being, and vouching for the desires laid out in our birthing plan. Even when Cece left to go home when little was happening during our labor, she was in constant communication with me and my wife, offering to bring us whatever we need or may have forgotten initially.
I am personally in the practice of "do what you tell me to do and I'll do it" and am seldom good at reading the room to fulfill a need in settings where I feel out of place. Cece quickly figured out how I work best and was happy to give me direction, suggestions and was always willing to tag in for me to take a break during the labor process. She was generous with her reminders to stay hydrated and fed and even gave me reminders to step outside and grab some sunshine to rejuvenate (there is no natural light in those birthing rooms). Cece also took point on communicating with our families with only necessary information - something I was dreading days before the visit.
It was an arduous three day process until we got to meet our son, and it wouldn't have been the amazing experience it was had Cece not been there to aid us. Our son's now share a birthday (Oh yeah, she missed her son's birthday to be with us) and we couldn't be happier with the expert and sincere service she provided.
