Testimonial for Melanie Conn (MM, CPD, PD)
As I sit here snuggling my baby boy 4 weeks postpartum, I'm reflecting on everything that lead to this moment. I can honestly say, without a doubt, my husband and I would have been not just lost, but truly devastated without Melanie.
We selected Melanie as our doula very early in pregnancy (like end of first trimester) based solely on connection from a video chat/interview. Kindred spirits to say the least. She was a wealth of information and support throughout pregnancy and helped me navigate complex, and crappy interactions with medical providers with grace.
But where she stood out as most invaluable was during labor week and immediate postpartum. Her knowledge, humor, compassion and advocacy skills got us through nearly 5 days of labor contractions, and a very complicted delivery/immediate postpartum. While I experienced significant trauma and postpartum hemorrhaging, she was in the thick of it supporting me (we have pictures), and being a shoulder for my husband. She stayed with us long after she would have normally left just to be there for the both of us and make sure we were emotionally okay.
I'm eternally grateful for the profound love we felt with Melanie from day 1. We wholeheartedly anticipate a lifelong kinship and give her honorary "auntie" status to baby boy Lucas.
I can't say enough about how amazing she is. Book her as your doula, you won't regret it.
[ I might get a little salty about new clients occupying her time because we want to hang with her all day every day... but I'll get over it ;) ].
