I found out about Midwest Doula Services through a friend who knew Lindsey. I interviewed a couple of doulas before I decided on this company. I had my interview with Amber who offered to be my doula with Lindsey as the backup. One thing that I value about Amber was her helpfulness. She was available any time of the day that messaged or called her with any sort of questjons. I hired them pretty late, in my 8th month but she made sure that I don’t miss out on any of the exercises and continuously motivated me and offered a plan that suited my lifestyle. I wanted to have a VBAC and was very clear in setting my expectations with Amber who understood and valued everything I wanted.
Amber went to great lengths to extend support- from trying to find childcare for my toddler or to even offering to take me to the hospital if I’m in labor and my husband can’t take me in the event he stays back for my toddler. She stayed calm and composed even when I was losing my mind in labor- lol and kept reiterating how I was doing great and handling my pain well.
Amber supported me post delivery as well by finding a masseur since I needed a good massage.
Overall, I loved her positive attitude towards birth and pain management and was everything I wanted in my doula by you my that extra mile.
Thankyou for supporting me in my VBAC journey ??
