Testimonial for Za'Kiesha Blanks
Za'Kiesha is literally a gift sent from up above. Without her I don't know how I would have made it through the rest of my pregnancy journey. Through a new program the hospital started I was matched with Za'Kiesha at 37 weeks. I delivered at 38 weeks and 5 days. In that week I learned so much information from Za'Kiesha that I never knew before. She is very informative and direct. I love that she was direct with me because I am very stubborn and like to do things my way. Za'Kiesha told me things I needed to hear and didn't sugar coat anythnig. For example: I was planning on returning to work after 2 weeks. Za'Kiesha let me know the benefits and risk factors of why I need to heal the whole 6-8 weeks. When I had my son 14 years ago I was up and about the next day and never knew the importance of healing for 6-8 weeks. She answered every call and text no matter what time it was. It was like she never slept. Now to get to the delivery part. I promise I don't know how I would have made it through without Za'Kiesha by my side. She helped easy the pain when contracting and walked me through every breath. Her voice is so calming and she endures all the pain when squeezing her hand. She even encouraged squeezing harder if need be. While pushing I literally forgot how to breathe and Za'Kiesha coached me through it. I was holding my breath the whole time and she had to remind me to breathe. I was a hot mess during delivery but Za'Kiesha made everything better. I am so honored and grateful that I met her and that my daughter is one of her babies she helped delivered. I will always and forever remember how Za'Kiesha got me through the rest of my pregnacy journey and can't wait until my daughter is old enough to tell her the story. Having Za'Kiesha has your doula is honestly a blessing and you will cherish every moment of the experience with her.
