Hello World, Baby Howie here!
I’m brand new to living earth-side, but my first order of business is to write a thank you note to Natasha Brisbin, the amazing birth doula who helped my parents welcome me to the world. Natasha was so great at helping my mom and dad, she’s very calm and has lots of knowledge about the birthing process as well as tips and tricks for keeping new babies (like me) happy and healthy. From advice on burping and gas removal to prepping for birth, Natasha has a wealth of knowledge. My mom says that Natasha’s massage and acupressure techniques were very helpful with pain management as I made my way into the world.
My dad says that he felt much more relaxed about the process knowing that mom had expert support from start to finish of my arrival. Even though I put my mom through a marathon with my birth, Natasha’s patience and support really helped my mom stay calm and use her sense of humor to cope throughout the process. Not only was mom cracking jokes with the staff right up to the end, she didn’t even swear! My dad was very surprised about this, he was worried about influencing my first words! We love Natasha and are so thankful we had her support, we absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a birth doula or postnatal doula support. Working with Natasha was one of the best decisions my parents made (aside from having me of course)!
