Testimonial for Britana Uppinghouse

Where to begin about Britana Uppinghouse and why to choose her as your doula? I am her younger sister, so you may be thinking this review could be skewed or biased. However, I am a realist and due to our history growing up, I can look at the relationship with her as a doula without rose-colored glasses and speak it how it is. For my first birth, I was fortunate to have all the family members I love there. I believe every woman’s hope is to have their Mom at their own “delivery” to support them. But I was lucky enough to have Britana as well. She naturally stepped in to assist me and my mom. She checked in on us and my husband’s needs, took meaningful and respectful photos (I am very modest and do not like photos that expose everything), maintained phone battery levels, water levels, room cleanliness and nurse satisfaction - all without being asked to do so.For my second birth, I asked Britana to be the main support role since my mom wouldn’t be able to be there this time. From the moment I asked her, she embraced the role. She planned and packed my entire birthing go-bag, including things I would have never thought to put in on my own. She even made homemade postpartum soothing pads. The birth itself happened so fast that Britana hardly made it in time, but when she did, the doctors mistook her for my midwife (who did not make it in time...that’s how fast the birth was!) because the moment she walked in the room she took charge of the situation and my needs. She remained that steady force of support for the next rest of the day until she could tell my husband and I were all settled and comfortable with Baby. I am the type of patient who struggles to express my true feelings or needs in a fast-paced medical setting. Britana naturally assesses situations and can determine what needs to be done based off what she knows you prefer and being in-tune to what may be your true feelings in the moment.
