Testimonial for Christa Duquette CD(DONA), SBD, HCHD
We are so glad that we hired Christa as our doula! She really made our pregnancy, labour and birth such an amazing experience! We had a few meetings with her during my pregnancy and we really valued those. They gave us a chance to get to know her better (and her us), they gave us an opportunity to ask her questions and she shared lots of great information with us. The meetings also helped us feel more comfortable and confident about the whole experience.
It was so nice to have an extra set of hands at our birth as she helped us with our things, and helped set up for the birth. She guided me through my contractions and through pushing, made sure that I stayed hydrated throughout, and better yet, she used a hand fan to help cool me down (this was the best!). This way, Thomas was able to help me with counter pressure and other support I needed, which was fantastic.
It depends on how the labour and birth go (and if there's time), but for ours, Christa was able to take pictures during it as well. We didn't really think it was something we'd want/need, but after seeing them, we were very grateful and will definitely cherish those photos.
Overall, we are so thankful we had Christa there with us and we would highly recommend hiring her! She will only enhance your experience. :)
