Testimonial for Adrianne Buyer
Adrianne was our doula for the birth of our daughter. She proved to be a huge support for me and my husband before, during, and after the birth. After an initial meet-and-greet Adrianne took the time to get to know us with two prenatal visits. During those visits she helped us mentally and physically prepare for labor by showing us labor positions, talking through what to expect, answering a wide spectrum of questions, and even giving us acupressure information. Leading up to the birth, I experienced small spurts of contractions for several days before the actual big day. Adrianne was available to me through texting during that time and consistently assured me that what I was experiencing was normal and good. Throughout those days of expectation, Adrianne offered so much comfort and ideas for ways to handle the early labor sensations. Once labor officially started, Adrianne made herself available to come to our home when we felt that we needed her. She gave practical support to my husband and suggested a variety of labor positions. I truly believe that the laboring positions she advised were highly instrumental in helping my contractions be productive and my labor to progress quickly. Once we transferred to a birthing center, Adrianne continued to fully support us. She even unofficially took pictures for us throughout the day. We will treasure those photos forever! After giving birth, I struggled with breastfeeding. Adrianne checked in on me multiple times, and came to our house specifically to give support and encouragement when the breastfeeding became overwhelming.
A final note: my husband was hesitant about hiring a doula. He wanted to be an active participant in our daughter's birth and did not want a doula to "replace" him. Adrianne did a fantastic job of giving him tools so that he could be the most supportive partner possible. He was so grateful that we decided to hire her.
I would highly recommend Adrianne's doula services!
