Suzanne was the magic that made my first birthing experience one that I will cherish forever. She provided me information to form the perfect team for my birth including hospital, doctor and their team. Before birth Suzanne gave a ton of information about how to be prepared and things to communicate to this team about my choices. Being prepared with choices is one thing and exercising those choices is completely different thing. Suzanne was there end to end.
On the day of my labor, despite being prepared with what to expect, when I felt the back pain, I dint know what they were. Late at night facing the pain alone, not knowing when to over or under-react, it was a big relief when Suzanne gave the pain a name. Starting there all the way through the delivery, Suzanne was there for me with ton of timely information, support and validation even when I went with something different from what she recommended. When the pain started interfering with my decision making, Suzanne was there holding me from slipping down the emotional slide from wanting completely natural birth to wondering about a C section, judgement-free. Thanks to her I had a natural birth. Her knowledge and cooperative working was commended by the nurses and my doctor as well.
The confidence and her warm support in the face of pain and uncertainty is the best gift Suzanne gave my family and for which we shall remain forever grateful to the Dedicated Doula team.
