Testimonial for Giovanna Mangione (Doula | CBE | CLE)
I was a bit skeptical when I heard about the idea of Doulas. It felt like someone to cheer on my wife during labor - would having one make a difference? My mind has completely changed after working with Giovanna.
The first thing that struck me about Giovanna is that she has a great deal of medical knowledge about pregnancy, childbirth, and child care. Having her available by phone and in person during labor meant that we could get a professional opinion on anything that troubled us 24/7. This was a tangible benefit and really helped our peace of mind both during delivery and after baby was born.
The second thing I really liked is that Giovanna has the confidence to take the lead in the delivery room. We're first time parents and even though we took a class to learn labor positions and etc, applying all this while mom is contracting was hard. Being able to follow a plan set out by a professional made labor a lot easier for us.
And of course, Giovanna was positive, emphathetic, and easy to work with. We had a fantastic experience with her as our birth Doula.
