Testimonial for Julie DiBella
Julie was a back up doula that my doula Jen have introduced. Julie made sure her and I meet over zoom to get to know each other. She was a pleasant to talk to, that I open up on my desire for a Vbac after a cesarean delivery and all the factors from having gestational diabetes in my pregnancy (2nd) and unsupported Obgyn.
My daughter unexpected want to arrive 3 weeks early and my doula was able to engaged Julie on standby. Julie was able to communicate with my husband on my laboring progress which was happening fast. She came when my husband shared my pain tolerance which was at a 5 out of 10 and thank goodness she went to the hospital because I don't think I would have managed a vaginal delivery without her. When Julie arrived, she was so calm and stood by my side while I labor. The contractions were so intense, but Julie was there to guide me through each contractions. She told me to focus in breathing, breath the baby down to my pelvic, relax my shoulders and to reset/relax after the contractions. She also suggested listening to music at my choice that calmed me and relax. At one point, I wanted/ needed an epidural and got checked I was at 9.5. Julie was supportive but the anesthesiologist couldn't make in time. My daughter was coming and Julie help with my emotions and pain at the moment. She was super supportive and guided that made it possible for me (a mama with gestational diabetes) to delivered my daughter via VBAC unmedicated on leap day! I highly recommend Julie! She's made it possible or my successful Vbac!
