Words cannot describe how grateful we were to have Terri support us during the birth of our baby boy. She was incredible and it would not have been the same without her. I found her early in my pregnancy during internet searches for doulas in the area. She was certified which was important to me. We chatted via computer, and it was decided that she was the one! I felt so comfortable with her, the conversation flowed naturally. She was supportive during pregnancy, providing me with reassurance and data as needed but the birth was where she shined. My labor progressed quickly, and she was ready to go at a moments notice…which was of course in the middle of the night. During labor she was incredible. She not only coached me and kept me calm and protected me from some of the unrealistic asks from the nurses, but she also helped my husband to be involved and kept up with the space in the hospital. She was incredible. During the birth she stayed with me so my husband could help deliver our little boy and she was also able to capture the moment with video and photos. After, she stayed with us for a few hours which was a life saver in my mind. The labor and delivery unit was packed so the nurses and midwife were not present for much of my immediate recovery but we had Terri. She helped me to navigate the first bit of my recovery and helped me to latch the baby and feel more comfortable with a newborn. She tidied up the room as we went and managed lighting and temperature and the annoying beeping equipment that was keeping everyone up. She was so comfortable and confident and experienced, and I felt like I had mom there protecting me and guiding me. Writing this brings tears to my eyes, I recommend her to anyone and everyone!
