Testimonial for Cydney Martineau
1/2
I had my second child with Whitney and Cydney as my doula about 2 months ago. I first connected with them at around 30 weeks and instantly knew that the 4 of us, my husband included, had a great connection. Having a doula with my first birth with whom My husband and I didn’t connect with as strongly, I knew how important this strong connection was to a successful relationship. I had initially been a bit hesitant on the structure they worked with while having one of them on call each week however that was never even remotely an issue. I always felt cared for and that they were in constant communication about who was handling what. Whitney and Cydney visited us multiple times at our home while we were pregnant and always worked with our hectic schedule to make these times work. They offered a supportive shoulder to both myself and my husband about the emotional and physical struggles of pregnancy during these sessions. Additionally, these ladies were only ever 1 phone call or text away for both of us. There strength, support and confidence in me helped me to feel strong and capable to attempt a homebirth.
In the days/weeks leading up to delivery while I was in early labor they were always offering suggestions for easing discomfort, reminding me to rest, or just plain checking in on my mental state. Once I was in active labor and requiring a bit more help, Whitney (the doula on call that week) was over to our house promptly and immediately my husband and I felt a sense of relief come over us knowing Whitney (in conjunction with the midwife) would have a few more tips and tricks to help us through. Our baby was born in about 1.5 hours from when Whitney and our midwife arrived and she assisted my husband with filling our pool for the water birth, provided soothing counter pressure, encouraging words to help me through, and also many laughs.
