Testimonial for Audrea Blayer, CD(DONA)

My husband and I were happy to have Audrea attend the birth of our second child in March 2021. The doula who attended the birth of our first baby was on maternity leave, but we wanted to find another doula for the birth of our second because of how positive that experience was. Audrea thoroughly debriefed my first labor and delivery so that she knew my background and experience. We went over what (if anything) I wanted to do differently. She read and helped me with precise language on my birth plan. My first labor was not complicated or long, but the debrief still helped to plan what we could for the birth of my second. 

When I was in my last month of pregnancy I started to get anxious about leaving my firstborn. (He'd never been away from both my husband and myself for very long.) Audrea talked to me on the phone and that helped me to come up with solutions and also to name the things that were challenging. I was worried that I would go into labor before my son had his second birthday. I didn't go into labor early, my son got his special day, and I was mentally read to give birth by the time I went into labor. Having an extra person who was more objective to talk to helped me immensely. 

My second birth was also mostly straightforward. Audrea met us at the hospital and helped to make me comfortable and to distract me from the contractions. Pushing went really fast this time around and it was nice to talk to Audrea several weeks after the fact to try to remember the timeline and talk about how the birth went.

I can highly recommend her!
