Testimonial for Caryn Fields
Of all the decisions leading up to giving birth, the one I am most grateful for is hiring Caryn. She is such a knowledgeable, compassionate person who pours herself into her work. My husband was initially ambivalent about hiring a doula but after our first meeting he commented that he was super impressed and after the birth itself we were both grateful beyond measure.
As a doula Caryn made sure we understood what was happening during pregnancy, different choices we could make regarding the birth, and various possibilities that could arise in the moment. I wanted a medicated birth and she was fully supportive and made sure I had techniques to manage the pain during the early stages of labor. Several things went differently than expected (including my epidural failing/wearing off at the end!) but having Caryn by my side during active labor and pushing was crucial to getting through it. She was also there to check in on us after delivery and she has been happy to answer questions during the postpartum period as well.
If we are able to hire a doula for our second child when the time comes, Caryn will absolutely be my first call. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
