Testimonial for Sophia Bennett-Leber
Hiring Sophia as my doula was one of the best decisions I made for my pregnancy! With my first baby, I wanted to go unmedicated but struggled through a very long, high intervention induction. I knew I didn't want that experience again and wanted more support. Sophia helped support me throughout a "high risk" pregnancy, and as a direct result I ended up having everything I wanted for my second birth!
During pregnancy, Sophia
-regularly checked in
-talked me through my first birth, listening to my hurts and fears and helping me process that to be prepared for my 2nd birth
-Sat down with me to get all of my wishes and desires written into my birth plan
-helped me research several topics so I could be informed at my doctor's appointments and offered to go to any appointment with me
-supported me when I was very emotional about a gestational diabetes diagnosis
-genuinely supported my choices and helped me feel confident in them
-helped me find resources to get my baby head down when she was still breech at 34 weeks, including recommending an amazing chiropractor
During labor she helped calm me, hydrate me, encouraged me to ask more questions, get me in different positions, and was completely focused on me and my needs.
I had many ups and downs and things working against me and my desire for an unmedicated birth, and I can honestly say I wouldn't have been able to get past them all without Sophia. She is the sweetest, most caring and kind woman ever. She really listens to you and your needs, and does everything she can to meet you where you need it. She truly has a heart for motherhood and to serve women in their most emotionally and physically vulnerable times. Having someone trustworthy and caring like Sophia is makes the world of difference during pregnancy! I dont have enough good things to say about her! I would have another baby just so she could be my doula again.
