Testimonial for Diane Tabilo, LCSW, CD(DONA) - Bilingual
You know how, sometimes you just want SOMETHING, but can't quite put your finger on what it is??
In labor, that "something" you want, is Diane.
It was my third labor, but first time with a doula. I wanted to try a more "hands on support of the mother in labor" approach this time around. Diane was absolutely perfect for this. I loved feeling her with me every step of the way--from the beginning of labor, through reliving the joys realities of it all while holding my sweet baby.
Diane was amazing at adapting to the situation at hand -- Her soothing encouragement to press on through the moment of each contraction, firm admonition to not fight the pain but relax and embrace it's good work toward our end goal, and just overall calming presence elevated my labor experience all around.
One of my concerns was that a doula would replace my husband as my support person. And while, I think Diane would make an excellent support person all on he own, she thoroughly dispelled that fear as she constantly sought out ways to involve and push my husband to be apart of supporting me in labor, all while simultaneously remaining involved herself.
We are so thankful we included Diane in our birth plan this third time around—I wish I had done so with my first!
She is a sweet addition to our memories of that happy birthing day!
