Testimonial for Rosie Peterson
When I became pregnant we knew we wanted to attend a Natural Birth Class and chose the Bradley class series. During the course of the classes, we decided to hire a Doula and found the perfect match after a couple of interviews. Her name was Kayti. When labor started at night, I took my time to call our doula because I still felt comfortable alone and with my husband. After 12 hours of labor, I was ready for the support of my doula and she did an amazing job. On that day her cold got really bad and we decided it was best for all of us if she went home to rest and we would labor alone for a while, this was at hour 24 of my labor. At hour at hour 43 of my labor, my husband, best friend and of course I were so exhausted that I was literally begging to receive a back up doula ASAP. Rosie arrived within an hour. We had never met her and were too tired to even worry about that. As soon as she entered the house, the energy shifted. She talked to my husband in a soothing and warm hearted voice giving him new strength and taking off a big chink of the pressure he was feeling. When she entered the bedroom where I was laboring at that time, she helped me relax and said calmly that I needed to sleep between contractions to gain some strength again. Mind you, my contractions were only about 2 minutes apart, sometimes less, sleeping in between contractions? Sitting on a birthing ball, I leaned into my husband during the contraction and back into Rosie's chest afterwards and she didi her magic and made me fall asleep. After only half an hour I was ready to go to the hospital. She made the car ride a "walk to the beach" working with visualization. She helped me breathe right through harder contractions and the urge to push when I was not ready for it yet and just 3 hours after we arrived at the hospital, I was ready to push. She helped me let go and and surrender. She was so comforting and loving, like a mother. I would recommend Rosie to anyone!!
