I'm so glad we were able to work with Bellwether Doulas for the birth of our first baby! They helped me find a great midwife and birth location (the ABC room at W&I) as we were new to Rhode Island and didn't have a community to turn to for recommendations. The meetups were incredibly helpful to prepare throughout my pregnancy, as was the Evidence Based Birth class Rachelle taught, and we worked with Lauren as a lactation support right after birth and before going back to work. They have a great team and structure for support throughout the process, we made some new parent friends in the meetups too!
But the birth experience was truly incredible. I had a super smooth, completely intervention-free birth at Women and Infants. My husband I and were fearful of the medical experience and how to advocate for ourselves and our baby but Rachelle put us completely at ease. She guided me through some position changes in labor when our daughter wasn't in quite the right position, and would have had no idea how to get through that without her help. They worked seamlessly with our nurse and midwife team and I felt so supported and in control during labor. Our daughter is doing brilliantly! Would recommend them to anyone in the area!
