Testimonial for Emerald Doulas
Having emerald doulas as a part of our birth experience was absolutely priceless. From the very beginning of the process, Whit and Isabel went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and heard during the pregnancy.
They provided us information and were available and interested after each doctor appointment. Our plan was to deliver at UNC with the midwives. We ended up needing to be induced after going to the last possible day before it was necessary- Isabel called and talked me through what to expect and what to do which was really anxiety reducing.
She met us at the hospital once things got moving kept watch all night, helped us sleep, had me trying different positions to help baby move down and also, flip him as he was sunny side up. She knew when to get the nurses and when to send my partner to go eat, or take a break it was really amazing. After many hours and no progress the midwives suggested a C-section, for a number of reasons.
Having Isabel there to help me/us decide and feel good about it was PRICELESS. She explained what to expect and She completely helped me come to the decision on my own, being supportive as well as explaining and comforting for what at the time was a scary situation.
She stayed with us the whole procedure, helped as needed, had nice oils for me to smell, stayed with us after, helped baby do skin to skin, and put baby on me as soon as possible - helped him latch immediately as well.
It’s a true gift and my baby was able to enter the world to a much calmer and happier mama and dad because of Isabel’s guidance, love and energy. She and whit also followed up after the birth periodically to make sure we were doing ok, offer ideas to make the precious few first weeks/months a bit easier and smoother and we are in touch to this day. I cannot say thanks or give enough to ever repay Isabel for this experience. Thank you thank you.
