Testimonial for Madison Herrera
Maddie was absolutely great. After talking with her on the phone, she scheduled at time to meet us in person at our home. She took the time to get to know us and learn about what our hopes were for our birth. She walked us through a birth plan and made us consider things we didn't even know were an option. Her opinions/suggestions greatly improved our whole experience. Doctors really are only in the delivery room for the actual delivery, and nurses are in and out, and can go longer periods not in the room earlier in labor. It was really nice having Maddie there to explain things to us that would have been scary if we were by ourselves. She was always there to provide her insight whenever we asked for, but she never pushed for anything that wasn't what we desired. She was a calming presence the entire time. We were at the hospital in labor for 18 hours, and Maddie was by our side the whole time. We were skeptical about having a doula, since we weren't attempting "all natural", and still planned on an epidural, but we are so glad that we did. Maddie was great, we couldn't say better things about her, as both a person and a doula.
