Testimonial for Brittney Belley
Brittney was such an essential part of the team going into my last birth with my daughter, born at the peak of the third wave of COVID. The staff at the Royal Alex was about to make me choose between having my husband or my doula present for my labor/birth, but doula Brit did what she does best, which is ADVOCACY, and bossed her way into the room to be with me when I needed her most. When she finally made it past the head nurses, we were so relieved! My husband was pretty much at the end of the rope on knowing how to help me and Brittney's leadership was directive, yet quiet and led by experience. The irritating nurse backed off and gave us much more space too, which was appreciated. Brittney provided reassurance that things were on the right track, even when we were totally freaked out by some of the weird things that can come up during labor. She got me into different positions for labor that seemed to speed things along, which is useful, as it makes it less likely that hospital staff are going to try to push interventions when stalling happens. I managed to get through labor and birth unmedicated, which probably wouldn't have happened without her. She also took precious photos of the birth that my husband never would have thought to capture. We are so grateful for her services and are eager to use her again now in my second pregnancy! Thank you Brittney!
