I cannot recommend Emerald Doulas highly enough! Our team Vanessa (childbirth educator), Angelica (birth doula), Jenna (postpartum doula), and Paris (lactation consultant) have taken fantastic care of us through pregnancy, labor/delivery, and the first two months of our daughter's life.
A few specifics:
- The information about pregnancy and labor/delivery can be overwhelming. Em Do provided just the right amount of detail, answered all our questions, and provided information at just the right times. I felt significantly less anxious and more ready to give birth following the childbirth class we took.
- It was fantastic to have a doula during our birth. It was comforting for me as well as my husband.
- Our postpartum doula was incredibly proactive and helpful. It can be hard to ask for what you need and I love how she would arrive and just start saying, “Can I fold this laundry?” “Can I do those dishes?” It was also nice for me to have some adult conversation other than my husband.
- Our work with the lactation consultant have calmed so much anxiety about feeding, especially when my milk didn't come in right away. We are now feeling more confident and we know how to reach out with additional questions.
