Testimonial for Katie Baxter
This was my first pregnancy and I decided to hire a doula because I was nervous about the labor and delivery process. I interviewed several doulas in the area, and felt Katie was the best fit for my family because she was extremely knoweldgable and passionate abour her work. Her calm, caring, and friendly personality immediately put me at ease. I also appreciated that she was sensitive to covid precautions since I had anxiety about my newborn baby being exposed to covid at the hospital. We had three virtual sessions during which Katie thoroughly explained various hospital procedures, labor positions, postpartum care, and answered all of our questions in great detail. She also reviewed my birth preferences and guided me with some medical decisions leading up to my son’s birth. Ultimately I ended up needing to be induced and labor progressed rather quickly, so due to timing Katie joined us right after my epidural was administered. I felt comforted by her presence and she was a supportive and encouraging member of the delivery team during the pushing phase. Katie continued to offer her support in the postpartum period when I reached out to her with random questions. I would highly recommend Katie as a valuable member to one’s birth team!
