Testimonial for Christine Scarlett, RN, BSN, PCD(DONA), CPD, CBD, CLC, CEIM
We decided fairly late in our pregnancy that we wanted to have a doula on our birth team, but even joining us only about a month before our son was born, Chris was hugely influential in our preparation for and experience of labor. In fact, we cannot imagine what labor would have been like without Chris there!
We are particularly grateful for the preparation Chris suggested, including different exercises, books and websites, and chiropractic visits. We truly believe these things played a huge part in Elizabeth's ability to deliver naturally, with no pain medication!
While we were in labor, Chris was a fountain of wisdom, helping us choose positions that allowed more effective contractions, reassuring us that Elizabeth's body was responding naturally, and keeping us both calm. She also helped with wonderful pain management techniques! Her attention to our needs allowed Matt to stay focused on Elizabeth. Our faith is very important to us, and so Chris prayed with us and for us.
After our son was born, Chris helped with breastfeeding for the first time, and made sure we were settled in our postpartum room before heading home. Even the nurses appreciated all she did for us!
