Akemi was our doula during my second pregnancy. I didn’t have the best experience during my first pregnancy when it came to the labor and delivery of our son. They gave me pitocin and I was in bed the whole time and I gave birth in my back and it just wasn’t what I wanted/expected.
I knew I wanted a doula for my next pregnancy. We met Akemi and we instantly connected for different reasons. One of them is because we are from the same country and she knew my desires for my labor and delivery of our second son. Another reason is because she really wants to hear you and know your expectations.
I was already past my due date and akemi came to my place to help me do some exercises to engaged baby and for baby ti be well positioned. When I went into labor we texted Akemi and she gave us instructions on what to do. A few ours later we met her at the hospital. Akemi gave me the labor I always wanted to experience. Because of her everything went the way I wanted. She heard what I wanted/needed and she just did everything she could so my labor was less painful.
I’ll always be grateful to Akemi for being there for me and helping me to go through the labor and for coaching me to deliver my son.
If we decide to get pregnant again, I know I want Akemi to be there for me when is time to have my baby.
Akemi listens to what you have to say andvis very encouraging, kind a very supportive.
