Testimonial for Natasha Trapp, CD(DONA)
We hired Natasha as our birth doula our goal was to have someone professional throughout my pregnancy and delivery who would provide physical and emotional support and was also knowledgeable.We met with her at our home and she shared important information regarding the stages of labor, provided post cards with questions in order to understand my expectations regarding labor and delivery and addressed all my concerns including hoping on zoom calls after my prenatal appointments with my Obgyn. She also shared the “tools” in her doula bag and Natasha was well prepared and also found a backup Doula for us just in case. She met my husband and I promptly at the hospital as we were checking in. Natasha provided on-going encouragement, breathing techniques, liquids, suggested laboring positions, provided counter pressure on my back and essential oils. She also held my hands as I was getting my epidural and was observant while the nurses and the doctors were in my room and helped distribute my birth plan to the doctors and nurses. She was there throughout my delivery and also stayed a little longer after and took pictures which I thought was very thoughtful.She met us at our home about a week post delivery and recommended lactation consultants and provided a summary of our birth. We were able to talk about the labor and delivery, I knew Natasha were there to help me and help advocate for me which helped me focus My biggest fear was that I would be pushed to get an unnecessary C-section or an episiotomy, that did not happen. I was able to deliver without any complications because I had my husband and Natasha there who helped ensure my birth plan was followed. I was not “pushed around” by the hospital staff.I would describe Natasha as calm, supportive, kind, warm demeanor and thoughtful. I read a review before hiring her that stated that she has a “quiet presence” about her and I completely agree. Hire her!
