Testimonial for Nicole Bengtson CD(DONA),certified BRM® pro,HypnoBirthing
I cannot recommend Nicole as a doula enough! We started our pregnancy journey feeling confident and unsure if we really needed a doula to help us through the birth of our daughter. However, we decided it wouldn’t hurt, and found Nicole. It was one of the best possible things we could have done. Throughout my pregnancy Nicole had a ton of knowledge, recommendations, and referrals for additional support that she shared with us. She got to know us personally and truly cared about the type of birth we envisioned. At the end of my pregnancy, we found out our baby was breech. With a C-section being protocol for this situation, it felt as though my plans for an un-medicated, natural birth were out the window. We made the controversial decision to transfer to a doctor in Wisconsin that was trained in the natural delivery of breech babies. Nicole not only agreed to drive to Wisconsin to support us during the birth, but made me feel extremely confident and proud of my decision. On our daughter’s birthday, she supported us in our home before moving to the hospital. She even turned around to grab our cooler we forgot at our house! Throughout labor and delivery Nicole was such a calm and helpful presence. She supported us physically, mentally, and emotionally. I was able to have the natural birth I envisioned and she was there to make sure I felt safe and confident the entire journey. During all the craziness that is labor, Nicole is definitely a person you want on your team. After baby was here, she shared the beautiful photos she took throughout the day, and a timeline of the events. She continues to check in postpartum and provide many resources to make sure our family is adjusting well. I’m forever thankful for my birth experience and her amazing support!
