Testimonial for Suzanne Ledbetter, CD

Hiring Suzanne as my doula was one of the best decisions I made. I knew I wanted a unmedicated birth and I was scared my 2nd birth would end up an epidural birth as well if I didn't have the support and encouragement I needed. I truly believe that if Suzanne was not my doula I wouldn't have had an unmedicated birth. She showed up at our house when I thought I was finally going into labor, but by the time she arrived it had fizzled out. I was so discouraged, but Suzanne gave me some stretches and positions to try because she believed that baby was ready but just not in the right position. By early afternoon that same day, I had my sweet baby boy in my arms. She provided much needed encouragement when I was laboring and pushing. Even while I was pushing my son out I kept thinking "I can't do this, I can't do this" but I did and I am so happy I got the birth experience I wanted this time. I wish I had hired Suzanne for my 1st birth because I am sure it would have been 100% a different experience. I am definitely hiring her for my next pregnancy and because of her I think I will explore the idea of doing either a home birth or birth center insead of a hospital birth. Also even though my son came quick (less than 3 hours from start of labor to delivery) she was still able to get some incredible photos.
