Testimonial for Katie Saunders
Katie did a fantastic job at being my doula and I don’t know what I would have done without her. She met me at the birth center and helped me get through my contractions there. Unfortunately, the midwife informed us that I was only 2 cm dilated so we were sent back home until I was a bit further along. This is where having Katie as our doula was absolutely life changing. Katie followed us back to our house where I labored for another 4 hours. My husband and I have no idea what we would have done without her - labor was quite intense at this point and having her support was so crucial to getting through that time. She positioned me in different positions and stayed with me the whole time, providing support in every way she could. I recall falling asleep in between contractions and would wake up to her holding my hands and helping me get through the next one. She knew all the right things to say to keep me focused and optimistic. I honestly think without her support during this particularly intense time that I would have just gone to the hospital, but with her I was able to handle it. When we got back to the birth center, she did a great job of supporting both me and my husband. She took a beautiful video of the moment of our daughter’s birth. And finally, she was very supportive after labor was over, helping get me hydrated and fed and supporting my decisions during that time. We would have been completely lost without Katie’s support and I am so glad we had her guidance for the birth of my first child. I’ll definitely be calling her again when we are expecting our second.
