Testimonial for Paige Davis, CD(DONA), CD(PALS)
When we think pregnancy we often think of women, but men have a role to play that can be very significant. That role, for me, was Wife-Support. While it may seem easy it can be very hard to comfort a woman who knows that you know more about Monday night football than you do about time between contractions. Regardless, my personal goal was still to do whatever it took to make my wife feel safe and secure. That was my most significant desire for my wife because when she feels safe and secure she can then relax and enjoy the beauty of our pregnancy. While my heart was in the right place, there was just so much information that I didn't have, and that's where a Doula can be very helpful. I personally wanted a Doula to arm me with information so that I could comfort and reassure my wife when she was worried. Paige proved to not only be a great source of information but a great source of comfort. Paige was very relateable and down to Earth, and that was a blessing because we spent days in the hosptial room together supporting and advocating for my wife. Yes, I did say advocating. When you go into a hospital with doctors and nurses who have delivered thousands of babies, you can feel like a number, but when you have a Doula like Paige, you go in prepared with a birth plan. Paige was a god-send. She took notes on the medications the nurses were giving my wife. She wrote down the times they administered the meds. She helped me to not only be there with my wife, but she helped me to be "present" and fully in the moment. That was the most beautiful gift she could have given me, and as a husband, that's what I wanted most.
If any of you are questioning whether a Doula is beneficial, they are. If any of you are wondering who you should choose, I recommend Paige.
I hope your pregnancy journey is blessed.
