Testimonial for Suzanne DeSelms

My name is Kyla and I am only 15 years old. I did not go to any classes or any sort of place for help about labor or childbirth except for google. Once I only talked on the phone with Suzanne about my situation it made me feel a lot more confident about what was going on. She then set up an appointment to meet with me and my boyfriend Tony, the father of the baby. At that meeting I didn't know what I was in for but Suzanne explained everything so well that I understood a little more. I thought she was really great and funny. When I went into labor and she got to my house she knew exactly what to do to make me feel more comfortable. She walked me through everything at the hospital and was right there with me every step. She helped Tony know what to do too, because being 16 he was also clueless. My baby boy was born 1/27/13 and it was the happiest moment of my life. I chose to give my baby to a family that would better care for him, his name is Bekker. Suzanne took pictures and documented what happened which I thought was great, I am able to look at her blog and relive all the happiness that Suzanne joined me for. I do not think I would have been able to do it without her, she doesn't know it but I have thanked God so many times for being so fortunate to have a doula that is so wonderful and understanding.
