In a hospital setting, doctors can be to AA women what the police are to our AA men. Which is why I chose to deliver at home. Grace be to God, I was able to find Dyese and hire her as my doula. I was her very first home delivery, but there was still no doubt in my mind that she was the one for me. Being able to have a familiar face supporting me was so comforting, and thus a no brainer.
Delivering a baby as an AA woman takes a level of militant advocacy, strength, confidence & power. Having Dyese by my side through the entire process was empowering to say the least. For she also embodies such characteristics.
As an Army Veteran, post baby I knew I embodied those traits easily, but birthing naturally at home had me a bit shaken at the core. Dyese made sure that she reminded me of my power and my abilities every visit I had with her, and most importantly, during birth.
She also was a God send as far as making sure all my questions were answered, making sure I was knowledgeable about every possible outcome, and helping me manage my pain before & during delivery. I don't know what I would've done without her. She even checked on us after the birth. I cannot WAIT to hire her back whenever I have my next child!
Hire Doula Dede & lets bring birth or even just the mentality of it, back home! And for those of you who chose to birth in a hospital...it's time to take your power back! Doula Dede will make sure you are heard & that your birth wishes are granted no matter what! You will NOT be disappointed!
THANK YOU DYESE FOR EVERYTHING! WE LOVE YOU!
