Testimonial for Astrid Hufnagel
Having a doula was important for me because of the limitations at the hospital due to COVID and because my husband and I do not have family nearby. We interviewed a few different people and knew that Astrid was the right fit for us because of her vast knowledge and experience and her clear and direct communication style. It was great to have one person who would be with us for the birth of our daughter and for several weeks postpartum as we got our bearings as new parents. Astrid was a great support during my natural delivery. Although my labor did not start out as I had hoped, she coached me through difficult contractions, helping me keep off pitocin and pain meds (as I wanted).
In the weeks after my daughter's birth, Astrid helped us set up her sleeping space and begin working on a schedule. She helped us gain confidence with bathing, changing and feeding. Astrid's baby gear tips and recommendations were incredibly helpful. She also helped troubleshoot feeding challenges and continued to reach out several weeks after our contact ended to check in on us.
I cannot recommend Astrid highly enough. She was a huge support and a very comforting person to have around and to know she was just a text or email away. It was very hard to say goodbye on her last day!
