Testimonial for Amy Loomis, RN, CD
In my preparation for not only birth as a first time mom but an unmedicated water birth, I read books, took birth courses, listened to podcasts, and watched numerous youtube videos. With all that, I still felt very nervous and unprepared for when the day would actually come. I had heard of doulas before, but never really understood their role in pregnancy and childbirth. Luckily at one of my prenatal appointments, my doctor mentioned having a doula and how beneficial and supportive they are, especially when wanting an unmedicated birth. I then found Amy via a recommendations list provided by my birth center and I couldn't be more grateful that I reached out to her! When meeting with Amy, she made me feel as though I had known her for years and I felt immedialty at ease. I loved how as part of her services, she meets with her moms multiple times to go over everything birth related and even postpartum. After the prenatal visits where she provided my husband and I with so much information, I already felt much more at peace mentally, and I was actually excited for birth! Also, knowing that Amy would be there for me during labor and birth, I wasn't nervous at all anymore because I had full trust in her and knew that she would be the extra support I needed. To no suprise, when the day came, Amy was right there and helped me through the hard 12 hours I labored at the birthing center (after laboring at home for 12 hours already). Providing physical support with counter pressure and helping me into different positions, as well as emotional support, I literally can't imagine not having her help. I am confident my birthing experience would have been 100 times harder if I didn't have her. Although it was hard and at times painful, I still look back on the birth of my daughter as the best day of my life and it is becuase of Amy's support that I can even say that! If in the future I have the opportunity to be pregnant again, I hope to have Amy at my side again!
