Testimonial for Anne Schuchman
Anne was all around AMAZING! We had two prenatal meetings, and one in-person where she gave us a bunch of great reading materials and we practiced some labor positions and techniques. She provided an in-depth questionnaire for us to fill out, which was really helpful to 1. get the conversation started on different birth plan options and expectations, and 2. help us think about some details and options we didn't know about previously. Anne listened to our birth preferences and provided us great feedback and resources based on her experience. I went into labor naturally - Anne responded quickly and met us at the hospital. I labored and delivered very quickly and Anne was an awesome support person throughout. I felt more comfortable talking to Anne and asking her my questions/concerns so she could avocate for me. She kept me calm, knew when to jump in to offer support/counter pressure/massage/position changes, reminded me of my breathing, and offered words of encouragement. She took photos and audio of the labor and delivery, per our request. She was also great support for my husband. She kept the energy in the room calm and light. She also checked in multiple times postpartum, as well as met with us in-person to answer any additional questions/concerns and provide some breastfeeding support and advice. I highly recommend Anne as a doula, and will definitely be hiring her in the future for any subsequent pregancy(ies).
