Testimonial for Dilpreet Kochhar
I had what could be considered a traumatizing birth. Several things did not go according to plan. I intended to have a minimal intervention vaginal delivery with an epidural and was strongly against using pitocin. After 30 hours of labor - including severe preeclampsia, sepsis, 3 failed epidurals, lost blood work, and a faulty urine catheter - I ended up having a c section with general anesthesia. I have no doubt that without Dilpreet I would not have come away with such a positive outlook on my delivery. When my fever was peaking and I was burning up, Dilpreet made sure the bedside fans were pointed at me. She was constantly changing out cold wash cloths to lay over my forehead and back. When my dilation stalled at 6cm, she helped me change positions every 30 minutes to try to encourage progression. When my epidural failed and I had to go through 4 hours of pitocin contractions without relief, she coached my husband and I through each and every one.
With Dilpreet, even with so many unexpected obstables, I was both prepared and informed. In our prenatal visit she provided education on all routes of delivery, so I did not feel blindsided when things did not go the way we anticipated. She provided plenty of resources and was always checking in on me. I felt at peace with the decision to have a c section delivery because I know that with Dilpreets help, there was nothing I could have done differently.
Dilpreet is an amazing person and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She is kind, thoughtful, and knowledgable. Her passion for doula work is clearly reflected in the quality of care she provides.
