Testimonial for Amara Minnis
Amara was a wonderful doula for my husband and me. My birth did not go as planned because I ended up having pre-eclampsia at 38 weeks and had to be induced. I did not have the pleasure of taking her birth class but she did have a great recommendation for another birth class I could take during a time my husband and I could be present, since he was on deployment during her class.
After getting the pitocin, my labor was really quick. By the time we called Amara to come to the hospital, I was about ready to push. She kept my husband and I very calm. The nurses and midwives at Depaul know her very well and they all worked so well together. The worst part for me was after having my daughter I had some complications and she stayed so that my husband could stay with the baby like I asked. She did more than we could ever ask. Not only during labor was she helpful, but we asked lots of questions being first time parents that she was able to answer or guide us in the right direction to find people or books that could answer them the best.
Amara is one of a kind. Even though we had an awesome nurse and midwife, having someone that could stay with us and an extra person to document our incredible experience, was absolutely priceless.
