Testimonial for Sheri Zobrist

Sheri was, in a word, a Godsend. 

I was not able to have a doula with my first pregnancy and it ended in a C-section.  This time around I knew I wanted to try for a VBAC.  I knew having a doula would increase my chances of success. However, this second pregnancy was a (welcome) "surprise", so we didn't even know we were expecting until the pregnancy was half over.  By the time the shock wore off and we got around to searching for a doula, we were only 8 weeks away from our due date.  Fortunately, Sheri was available and when we met her, I felt instantly comfortable. She was encouraging and really knows her stuff.  The few times I asked her obscure questions, she quickly and thoroughly researched the topic and put together TONS of information so that my husband and I could make informed decisions. 

I was especially happy to have Sheri when I went into labor. I had been diagnosed with COVID a few days before (I was out of quarantine but still masking) and my husband and 2 year old were still in the middle of their quarantine.  So when my water broke, I was not able to have my support person (hubby) in the hospital.  Sheri graciously agreed to take the risk and be my support person.  She even drove the 40 minutes in the middle of the night to my home to pick me up and take me to the hospital when my contractions hit suddenly and were too strong for me to drive. She coached me as I pushed for 5 hours.  When my doc suggested we consider a Csecton to ensure the baby's safety, Sheri talked me through my fears and called my husband and mother to update them.  She held my hand through the Csection and waited with me after the sugery until my mother could get into town. 

Baby Scarlett was born May 10, 2022.  Although Scarlett's birth story is not what I had planned for, Sheri was a huge blessing. She was exactly what my family needed! Thank you, Sheri!
