In the words of my husband, “She is worth every penny!” Before we even agreed to hire CeCe, she was providing us resources to look into during our discovery call. We had such a sense of comfort after our call we did not even bother to interview any other doulas. I will forever be grateful for the role CeCe played in the birth of our first child. She answered the panicked call at 5:30 in the morning when my water broke six weeks early. She was the voice of reason and the calm in a scary moment. She continued to check in with us as we got settled at the hospital. Once CeCe arrived, she didn’t hesitate to jump into action. We hadn’t had the opportunity to talk though my birth plan yet other than I wanted to have a natural birth. When comfort measures weren’t going as planned, she had suggestion after suggestion for things to try. When I was ready to give up, she encouraged me and helped me have a version of the birth that I had been envisioning.
Despite everything that CeCe did for us during the birth, words cannot express how much I treasured her during everything that happened afterwards. My baby had to be taken to the NICU and my husband went with our baby. CeCe sat with me during the two hour observation period so that I would not be alone. She shared her own stories and experience and helped prepare my mama heart for the days that would follow. When it was time to transfer rooms, she literally carried our belongings to our room so that I could get to the NICU to see my baby faster. CeCe continued to stay in contact with us in the days and weeks to follow offering support and prayers for our family. Even now when I run into CeCe around town, it’s as if I’m running into an old friend who sincerely wants to know how our family is doing. My husband and I have already agreed that we will definitely be seeking Cece out to assist with our future births!
