We were so blessed that a friend referred the owner of “The Breezy Doula" Bree Zaccaro, to my husband and I a couple of months before our due date. This being our first experience, I knew I wanted a natural birth, but didn’t exactly know what that would look like in a hospital setting. Bree took the time to come to our home and help create our birth plan, which included pain management, birth preferences and desired newborn procedures.
Bree was completely supportive and respectful toward any and all decisions my husband and I had made. I labored at home for close to eight hours, then asked Bree to meet us at the hospital. Unfortunately, rush hour traffic, an epic rainstorm and a bad accident on the 5 freeway, made our commute to the hospital significantly longer than expected. I was so relieved to know Bree was immediately on her way, had already notified the L&D unit that I was en route, while greeting me at the entrance to the hospital.
I arrived at the hospital 7cm dilated. A little over two hours later our healthy baby boy was born via vaginal delivery without unnecessary interventions. Bree went above and beyond by helping with massage during each contraction, position changes and making my preferences known multiple times to the nurses and doctor when they wanted to deviate from my birth plan. I am so very thankful we had Bree as our doula and highly recommend using “The Breezy Doula” for antepartum, birth and postpartum needs.
