Testimonial for Emerald Doulas
My husband and I were fortunate to have the support of Isabel and Vanessa through Emerald Doulas throughout my first pregnancy and at the birth of my daughter. When we found out we were expecting our son, my husband and I initially thought we would be able to handle the birthing experience on our own. However, as my pregnancy became complicated, I knew that we would benefit from the support of Emerald Doulas just as much (if not more) than we did the first time. Luckily, Isabel was available to attend the birth of our son. She helped us understand what our options were throughout the birthing experience, provided physical support in terms of birthing positions and comfort measures, and gave encouragement when I thought I couldn’t push any longer. In addition to having the support of our birth doula, we also requested a postpartum doula that could provide overnight support at the hospital. I wanted to give my body the best start to recovery and knew that rest was the the best way to achieve this. Luckily, Delmar was available to support my son and I for our 2 nights at the hospital. Having Delmar there gave me the peace of mind to truly rest. Delmar held and soothed my son when he was fussy, changed his diapers, swaddled him, and helped me breastfeed him. Having Delmar also allowed my husband to go home to be with our daughter and get a good night’s sleep so he could better support me throughout the day. I honestly cannot recommend Emerald Doulas enough and strongly encourage any family to consider the postpartum support!
