Testimonial for Julie Buck
Delivering my babies unmedicated mattered a lot to me. My mother passed before I became pregnant with my first son and it was difficult not being able to share that joy with her or ask questions about her pregnancy with me. The one thing I knew (because I heard the story every year on my birthday) is that she delivered me unmedicated and I arrived at a whopping 11lbs 1oz! She squeezed my father's hand so hard his fingers went numb! To me, it was an incredible testimonial of her strength and I knew I wanted to live that same experience. I delivered my first son in Colorado and found an amazing doula who I came to call the MVP of that childbirth experience. She enabled the exact birth experience I imagined and I couldn't be more grateful to her. Fast forward 3 years, we've moved to Idaho Falls, and I'm pregnant with our second son. My very first priority was to find a doula and I'm so grateful I found Julie. For my due date timeframe there were only two doulas available in Idaho Falls and Julie was by far the more experienced. When my husband and I first met with her we quickly knew she'd be the right one to help me achieve another unmedicated delivery. Julie is kind, thoughtful, and motherly. My husband especially appreciated when Julie asked how she could support him. This led to her teaching him how to provide counter pressure during contractions and him playing a more active role during my labor. I appreciated how attentive she was to my needs. She also provided several hours of postpartum support when I needed help transitioning our son to the crib and this proved invaluable to me. I tried so many times and felt so discouraged but she took over for one night and got him sleeping in the crib! She taught me her techniques and it's been a success every night since. I can't thank Julie enough for all she's done to support me and my family. I appreciate her so much and highly recommend her services.
