Testimonial for The Birth Collective | doula, photo, education
Our beautiful baby girl Alaia arrived on August 5th, it was one of the most special days of our lives. Being first time parents having doula Austin there has definitely helped ease our mind, and made the birth experience as positive as possible.
Sarah, Austin, and Bree were super responsive to text messages during my entire pregnancy, no matter what time I texted them, they would always respond within minutes. During my 38 weeks visit, I was sent to triage due to high blood pressure, and was recommended to be induced for labor that day, Doula Sarah jumped on a call with us to discuss the risk and benefit of induction, as well as the odds of the high blood pressure was due to preeclampsia. Eventually we decided against induction. I am so glad that Doula Sarah was a part of this decision making, 3 days later, baby girl arrived :).
I had painful back labor, Doula Austin was calm and knowledgeable, she switched me into different positions to help the baby turn. Also highly recommend hiring a doula even if you are getting an epidural. At the hospital Doula Austin helped me switch positions to help labor progress, asked doctor and nurses questions that we could not even think of, and most importantly was always our biggest advocate and patiently explained any procedures doctor suggested to us along the process and make sure that we are making decisions that is the best for our circumstances.
