Testimonial for Stacey Tweedle CD/PCD (DONA) Postpartum Doula
I was searching for first time to use a doula for my 2nd birth as I didn't use one for my first. Which ended up in a c section cause I did the epidural cause the nurses didn't remind me of the pain meds to use first. The epidural helped me relax and fall into a deep sleep where I awoke to the panic in nurses telling me baby heartbeat was dropping. I wasn't thinking clearly and opted for the c section asap. It went well in surgery but my baby couldn't nurse first 24 hrs cause we were both drowsy from epidural.
my 2nd birth is a surrogate journey. And Stacey also being a surrogate connected us. Week after due date I went in for induction after being informed of the procedures by Stacey. I did the foleys and oxytocin. After oxytocin started it was 5 hrs labor where I called Stacey in at 1am. The nurses kept pushing for me to have epidural and stressing me out. She was quick to action and helping me relax and do my breathing. While taking care of my needs. She stayed post partum still I was back in bed resting after being showered and fed with her help and encouragement.
being a single mom or even having a first time dad helping I would choose a doula everytime. She is focused on healthy mom and delivery. Knowing what they do as drs and nurses and the positive or negatives behind procedures. her calm relaxed demeanour helped me to relax knowing I would get through birth pains.
