Testimonial for 312Doulas *Birth & PP*Spinning Babies*GentleBirth
I can't say enough good things about Victoria and Heather and my family's experience with 312Doulas. This was our first pregnancy after a couple rounds of IVF; not surprisingly, my husband and I faced pregnancy and labor with high levels of anxiety. Victoria and Heather talked us through those feelings all the way through the pregnancy, from 2 months pregnant to 2 weeks postpartum.
During the labor, both provided support, encouraging words, and much-needed massage to get us to the finish line. In the moments I felt like giving up (it was a long labor!), Victoria was there helping me feel confident and strong enough to keep going. Victoria checked in with me about my preferences and desires all throughout the labor, making sure the experience was what my husband and I wanted. I truly can't imagine going through labor without them.
In addition, the class we took through 312Doulas (Evidence-Based Birth) helped us make decisions both before and during labor that otherwise would have been confusing and frightening, such as knowing when to start an epidural and choosing to keep pushing rather than rush into a c-section. 312Doulas also hosted pregnancy and new-mom groups that helped me feel like part of a community in what can be a very lonely time.
Seriously, expectant parents, it takes a village, and 312Doulas is exactly the supportive, informed, kind, compassionate village you need.
