Testimonial for Carolynn Slocum
Hiring a doula was probably the best decision I made for my birth, and the fact that I got to work with Carolynn was just such a gift and I'm so grateful I found her!
I was on the fence about a doula, I wasn't sure if it would be necessary for us but after I met with Carolynn I knew I wanted her at my sons birth. Even before I went into labor, I felt so cared for. I was able to ask her any questions I had, and she offered so much insight and piece of mind. When it came time for actual labor she was such a strong and steady support for both my husband and I (emotionally and physically!) she never waivered even when it meant staying up basically all night while I labored. I really don't think I could have done what I did without her!
Due to unforeseen circumstances I ended up needing to be transferred from the birth center to the hospital at 9.5 centimeters, and I'll never forget her praying over me and my husband while my midwife called the paramedics. She was just irreplaceable. She stuck with us all through the transfer, driving my husband over to the hospital, advocated for us in a stressful and unplanned situation and environment. She was so familiar with the hospital staff and procedures and that put us at ease especially because that wasn't our plan.
I could go on and on, I can't say enough good things about Carolynn! I will absolutely be calling her when it's time for our next baby. Hire her, you will not regret it.
