Testimonial for Katie Rowe
Having Katie as my doula was arguably the best decision I made for my daughter's birth assistance. During pregnancy Katie gave me many resources and suggestions for maintaining comfort and health, positioning baby, and preparing mentally and spiritually for labor. She was readily available for a text or call anytime I had questions. At 35 weeks she came to our house to meet my husband, give us a packet on breastfeeding (which I still refer to now at 6 wks postpartum), and practice comfort measures for labor. During labor Katie arrived early on and was right by my side through a long night of labor. She had countless comfort measures readily available and I truly believe my labor was more manageable and calm because of Katie's presence and help. I had to unexpectedly be transferred to the hospital for a c-section, which was still made better by the fact that Katie escorted us there and was so supportive through this emotional process. During postpartum Katie has checked in with me weekly (sometimes more), encouraged me, and reminded me that there is nothing more important than taking care of my daughter and my recovery during this time. She came a week after the delivery to check in with us on breastfeeding and recovery, and also gave us a written documentation of the labor and birth events, which I will treasure for the rest of my life. I was so thankful for this, as I didn't have the mental energy to write it all down myself. I would recommend Katie to any expecting mother and cannot imagine going through labor without her. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Katie for everything you have done to create a confident and beautiful entrance into motherhood for me.
