Testimonial for Nicole Schubert
When researching doulas in my area to attend my birth, as a first time mama, I wasn't sure exactly what I was looking for, however as soon as I spoke to Nicole on the phone, I knew she was the doula for me. I loved her energy, and I felt like it matched mine very well, therefore I immediatly chose her! She was very helpful prenatally, she came to my house several times to review the process as well as multiple times to practice and review spinning babies techniques with my husband and I, and of course was available anytime by phone and text. When I went into labor, my water broke first and very fast contractions ensued, which threw off the timeline for my labor. I had to go to the birth center for antibiotics, and she met us there, and proceeded to get in the backseat with me for the many trips I took in order to get the antibiotics, and go back to laboring at home. At home, she was providing counter pressure on my low back, as well as helping with position changes and helping me in the shower, swapping back and forth with my husband to try and support me. I eventually got an epidural, and long story short, I had a 37 hour labor, ending in an infection that caused me to get a c-section. Nicole stayed the entire time, and made sure I was out of recovery ok before finally going home. She has since followed up with multiple postpartum visits for lots of debriefing because of my traumatic experience with this particular birth center/hospital. She has even gone out of her way to research VBAC opportunities for my future births. She was an absolute gem, and I would have no hesitation hiring her again for my future children. She also makes great lactation cookies, which my husband even sampled, not realizing they were for lactation!
