Testimonial for Rachel Ogea
When I found out I was pregnant with my first child, I didn't think a doula was completely necessary, but ended up getting virtual support from Rachel anyway. Now, she will be the first person I call when it's time for baby #2.
I have plenty of friends and family who love and support me, but I found that they always managed to interject their own complications or concerns into any conversation about pregnancy and birth. This typically left me feeling nervous and anxious. Having Rachel as my doula gave me a safe place to work through my hopes and fears without judgement or bias.
When I had a question, Rachel provided science-based support. She shared all of the facts, but made it clear that I should choose what was best for me and my family. She was always quick to respond to my inquiries, reached out frequently, and kept in touch via zoom, texts, and phone calls.
During my pregnancy, I felt heard and supported. Rachel talked me through our birth plan and offered suggestions to help manage the pain naturally. When I went into labor, she immediately answered texts and phone calls, and even offered to face time while I was at the hospital.
I am especially grateful that she introduced me to Spinning Babies, which moved my son into the right position and allowed me ti deliver vaginally after being stalled at 9.5 cm for 8 hours.
Rachel was the doula I never knew I needed. I am beyond grateful for her support and I cannot imagine going through another pregnancy without her.
