Testimonial for Vanessa Hanible
I had a planned c-section and had never intended on having doulas. Then, my water broke early and my husband was hospitalized at a different hospital and I was alone in the hospital with my newborn trying to figure out how I was going to manage everything (including a toddler!) when I got home since my husband was going to be recovering from surgery as well. I realized I needed help and was lucky enough to count on an amazing team of postpartum doulas. Vanessa was everything I didn't know I needed! With her help I was able to get some much needed rest. She also helped me troubleshoot some breastfeeding issues I was having. From my experience with my first, I was sure that the haakaa would never work for me. Vanessa encouraged me to try it out and boom I was collecting an additional 3 ounces of milk at each feeding, enough for a bottle! Vanessa did other things around the house and helped us keep all the feeding supplies sterilized and organized. One of the best things was just having her around for middle of the night feedings. I had a very rough time surrounding my birth since my husband wasn't with me and Vanessa was there to chat and help me process my experience. I highly recommend her!
