Testimonial for Michele Peterson
I can't begin to express how thankful I am that I found District Doulas and specifically Michele to support me throughout my pregnancy but most definitely during my labor and delivery experience. I unexpectedly had to get induced a few days before a scheduled induction. My husband and I found ourselves rushing to the hospital, a bit confused and overwhelmed with what was happening. We called Michele and right away, she helped us figure out a plan including what to do both prior to arriving at the hospital (e.g. grabbing a few extra things at the grocery store, all of which came in handy throughout labor). Much of my labor didn't go according to "plan", but we were incredibly grateful to have Michele by our sides, supporting us every step of the way. From the moment she arrived at the hospital (my contractions had already started), Michele immediately jumped in, helping me with positioning, often moving and lifting me to help me get into those positions. When it came to making decisions and communicating with the doctors and nurses, Michele always made sure we understood our options so that we could feel empowered to make the right decision for us. After I got the epidural, Michele continued to monitor me and baby closely and help me with exercises and positions to get the baby in the right position. Although the nurses at the hospital were very kind, having Michele's constant support was truly a godsend. My husband and I would not have known what we were doing and could not imagine what labor would have been like without Michele's support. She was also very supportive postpartum offering advice and helping us ease our transition at home.
Michele is incredibly knowledgeable but also very kind, compassionate and makes you feel comfortable right away. I can't recommend her enough!
