Testimonial for Bree Minter
The support that Bree provides as a doula is so much more than just in person during labor. Her support during my pregnancy was so beneficial. Without Bree suggesting I try the brewers diet at 37 weeks when I was measuring at 34, I don't know if my baby would have made it to 6lbs when I had him at 38 weeks. I experienced a precipitous birth that turned our planned birth center birth into an accidental freebirth homebirth. My husband was on the phone with Bree as she sped over to our house while I delivered the baby. She was at our house before my midwives showed up. She not only checked in on how I was doing, but also on how my husband was doing to make sure that both of us were okay. Bree made sure I had something to eat and rehydrate. All the while she was taking photos to capture our story. My son had a tongue and lip tie that made it difficult for him to latch. Bree was able to recomend providers who could help us on our feeding journey such as an IBCLC, and doctor to revise the ties. She sent resources of alternative methods on how to feed my son my milk until we could get his revision. It is because of her support in this area that we are successfully able to breastfeed today. Bree wanted to make sure that if my birth was traumatic for me that we were able to discuss it. She also provided information on multiple postpartum mood disorders, and how they can also affect men. This opened up an opportunity for my husband and I to be honest with each other about how we are both feeling since our son's birth. This brings me to my birth photos. I love my "after" birth photos so much. They perfectly tell our story of how I had my baby unassisted on my bathroom floor. I originally didn't even think that I wanted them. They were worth the wait. Although I would have been happy having any of the doulas from TBC with me, Bree was the perfect doula for me (and my husband's in shock profanity over the phone).
