Having the right support during childbirth is invaluable, and our doula Sondra was the embodiment of strength, comfort, and expertise throughout an intensely challenging birth experience. For four grueling hours of pushing, she was by our side, offering words of encouragement, guiding us through each contraction with breath and focus, and providing the physical support needed to endure the demands of labor.
When our baby needed to be taken to the NICU, Sondra’s presence became even more crucial. She navigated this emotional and unexpected turn with incredible sensitivity and grace, ensuring we understood what was happening every step of the way. Her ability to offer reassurance, coupled with her knowledge of neonatal care, helped us to stay calm and connected to our baby, even when we couldn’t be physically together.
Sondra's unwavering support and guidance were integral to our birth experience. Her presence allowed us to focus on the strength and love that brought our baby into the world, even amidst the challenge and pain. We are forever grateful for her compassionate care and the peacefulness she brought into our lives at a time when we needed it most.
