Testimonial for Eden Birth Services
Hiring Eden Birth Services to support us throughout pregnancy and birth was the best decision my husband and I made leading up the birth of our first child. I cannot imagine going through 9 months of pregnancy without Rophe. She checked in periodically and held me accountable to go through the birthing education courses - which included exercises and positioning routines, diet/supplement suggestions for easier labor, and general education in what the birth experience can and should be like. She coached me through an injury early on, helping me to find the pelvic support I needed to continue to workout and maintain an active lifestyle right up until birth. She helped me write a birth plan and during delivery she ensured the hospital staff respected my wishes to the extent possible - which they did, resulting in the most beautiful experience I could have ever imagined. When I went into labor in the middle of the night she was in the car within minutes on her way (and even got pulled over en route to make it in time!). She met us before we went to the hospital while I was in back labor to reposition and engage our baby, which she did quickly, and supported me through transition and in the car ride to the hospital, making it to the delivery room just in time to push. Throughout the whole labor she ensured my husband played an active role - forcing me to focus and use the breathing techniques she taught us, especially as the contractions got more intense. I had the natural, unmedicated birth I wanted - feeling my son swiftly enter the world - and spent a full 1.5 hours of skin to skin with him directly after birth. To say I couldn’t have done it without Rophe is an understatement. Doulas are a must if you want an advocate, educator, and coach in your corner - and Eden Birth Service is just that.
