Testimonial for Kelly Contreras CD(DONA), CVD(TVL)
I reached out to Kelly after seeing her post on the Wesiminster mom facebook group promoting her services as a doula and placenta encapsulation. This was my second pregnancy and I was interested in the placenta pills to help me with my post partum. Kelly scheduled a zoom call with me and it was a chance for me to get to know her and the process of placenta encapsulation as well as her to learn more about me and my pregnancy. As a Latina I have often been dismissed by my doctor on my pain or concerns and having a chance to name that out loud with Kelly gave me so much power through my storytelling. My first labor and delivery happened during March 2020 1 day before the lockdown began, I delivered my baby girl at 35 weeks and was induced with pitocin and got the epidural. I did not ask or know the pros and cons of either medication and felt robbed of how I envisioned my delivery. Once I got home I struggled with low milk supply and was so stressed every time I fed my baby or had to pump. I had severe Postpartum Anxiety (PPA) and rage and I felt so alone and not worthy as a mom. When I got pregnant with my second baby girl I wanted to feel empowered and educated on the choices and decisions that were best for my health and my babies health. After sharing my story with Kelly and telling her my concerns with having another preterm labor and having PPA during postpartum, Kelly connected me with another doula who had openings in March. I connected so well with the other doula as well and began the process of getting educated at birth, I read a hypnobirthing book and learned techniques that help lower pain and increase oxytocin. Kelly picked up my placenta and then delivered my pills at home and continued providing support throughout my postpartum. The placenta pills have worked amazing. I have nothing but positive things to say about her services. She is an amazing doula and overall person to have by your side! Thank you.
