Testimonial for Marcie Hadley, CD(DONA),PCD(DONA),LCCE, CLC
We were so beyond blessed to have Marcie to support us during the birth of both of our babies. Initially my husband was on the fence about hiring a doula but now he says he is signing a “lifetime” contract with Marcie for as long as we’re having babies!
First off, She came to our home weeks prior to my due date, fully explaining how the birth could go and it helped me really visualize what I would be going through. I was prepared and knew what to expect – I knew what my body would be doing and what would be normal in the weeks leading up to it. I was preparing for a natural birth and I really wanted and needed to understand my body to do it. Also having her available 24/7 to text or call with any random questions was very valuable.
During both of my births she never life my side during labor (27 hrs with 1st baby) (12hrs with 2nd). She was so in tune with what I needed and when I needed it, things such as making sure I was hydrated, knowing the exact spot I needed pressure during contractions, helping coach me in my breathing, the things that I really needed in order to continue experiencing natural labor. I am so happy to report that I did indeed succeed in having the natural labor that I had wanted so much! I truly believe this is a testament to how beneficial it is having the support of both an amazing doula and loving partner, during one of the wildest rides there is. I sincerely recommend to any woman who is embarking on the journey of motherhood to really take the time to plan out and research the birth you want, look into the history of doulas, and all of the benefits there are to having an experienced woman at your side during your labor. It is truly priceless! I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to have Marcie at my birth. I know my husband agrees wholeheartedly! We love her!
