Testimonial for The Dedicated Doula Team- Doula + Photo + CBE ++
The Dedicated Doulas are exactly that: dedicated. As a husband of a beautiful wife who was about to give birth, I didn't really have any idea of the role a doula plays, let alone what a doula was! All I knew was that we were having a baby and we were both embarking on that journey together; plain and simple. Well, it was not AT ALL plain and simple. I didn't realize the hormones that are at play with my partner, her anxieties, her apprehensions, her questions about the birthing process etc. Not to mention after you have the baby...The lactation help needed, the chaotic schedule of a newborn..What I have realized as a husband and father is that my role is WAAAAYYYY bigger and if executed properly, makes all the difference! That's where the Dedicated Doulas come into play! The doulas were there every step of the way. They guided my partner through every single question and anxiety. You may not think that's important, but let me tell you, if you can't be there to quell the storm, you better believe the doulas will and you'll come home to a MUCH calmer, happier partner. I found myself trying to help so many times and I had to step back and realize....this is a process that I cannot understand or have never experienced, but the doulas helped support me so I could show up the best way possible. They were there for every question, they were there at the hospital for pre and post labor!!! They have crafted a community that is there 24/7! And trust me, you will wish you had that when you find yourself riddled with questions and not knowing what to do! Let me say this, I asked my wife when we were in the car after everything and I said, "Babe, could you imagine doing all of that without the doulas." My wife started crying and said, "No, I don't think that it would have been possible." There isn't a price tag on the mental well being, support and comfort that the doulas give you. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!
