Testimonial for Polly Hamui/ Nahmad
Hiring Polly as our doula for the arrival of our first baby was one of the best decisions we made during the whole process. She helped to make sure my wife and baby were in the best position possible to enter the labour process. In terms of the actual delivery, her personality, skills, and reassuring demeanor were incredibly valuable - primarily in helping my wife have the best, most empowered labour possible (including many physical and mental natural pain management techniques), but also for me as the father, Polly's calm presence allowed me have the relief I needed, the guidance to be a more effective support person, and the confidence to know that everything was going to work out. Polly was the perfect balance of offering great advice while respecting our birth plan, and did everything she could to work toward it, but was also flexible, encouraging, and cooperative when plans and/or conditions changed during our birth, as they so often do. As the non-birthing parent, I wanted to be as involved and supportive as possible, and working with Polly allowed me to be the best I could be, and more importantly did so much to help my wife focus, cope, and successfully deliver our baby into the world, in perfect teamwork with the nurses, doctors, and midwives present. Almost everything in our original birth plan had to change due to medical issues that arose near the due date, but the one thing that never changed was Polly being there for us whenever and however we needed her support.
