Testimonial for Yvette Stephens
We truly can’t say enough good things about Yvette. Our labour did not go as planned at all. We had originally planned for a home birth but ended up with 5 days of prodromal labour and 3.5 days of actual labour with a bed/staffing shortage in the entire region, a diversion, an augmentation of labour, and an eventual c-section. She was very quick to answer my texts when I had questions before labour started, and when we were in labour, she was answering calls on the first ring. Yvette was there day and night, hour after hour, through the entire process, helping us navigate all the changes in our plans. She educated us, offered suggestions when asked, supported our decisions, advocated for us, comforted us, and reassured us. Despite the obvious sleep deprivation and challenges presented, she never wavered in her support. I do not know how we would have made it through without her. My labour experience would have been much different (worse) had she not been there. This was my first birth and there’s no way I would ever have another without a doula. It was well-worth the investment and I would choose Yvette again 100 times over. Thank you for everything!
