Testimonial for Caroline Overby, CD(DONA)/PCD(DONA), CLC
We absolutely loved having Caroline as our doula. She was available throughout the pregnancy via email & phone. She made sure that we were taking classes & she reviewed what we learned. She met with us twice before birth. In these meetings, Caroline helped teach my husband how to support me in labor (counter pressure etc.), write the birth plan, & practice breathing for during labor. During labor, she came to our home & helped me during contractions, carry things to the car, & decide when to go to the hospital. In the hospital, Caroline checked me in, validated my feelings, made sure I consented to everything, recited affirmations with me & made sure I was as comfortable as possible. She was by my side the whole time. After birth, Caroline took photos & videos. Later, when I needed support breastfeeding, she helped immediately on FaceTime. In postpartum visits Caroline checked in on us holistically. We discussed the birth, how we felt about it, she answered all my questions, supported breastfeeding, validated my worries, helped with laundry & dishes, asked about my mental health, & we played together with my baby. She gave tips about feeding & sleeping. Later on, Caroline also helped by FaceTiming me to teach me how to use my pump. This was at the last minute & so helpful. Caroline is such an optimistic person which helped when I was struggling in labor or postpartum to hear her validate everything that's going well. She is never judgmental & just an amazing support. I'm so glad she was by our side through pregnancy, delivery, & beyond. We chose Caroline because we felt we clicked with her personality & we're so glad we made that choice. Caroline is kind and sweet yet can also stand up for you with any providers if needed. She's very informative & looks up any information she doesn't know, going to her network of doulas & lactation consultants. She's the best!
