I’m so grateful that I had Sophia as my doula through my pregnancy and birth. As my first time being pregnant and giving birth, I had a lot of worries and stress. During my pregnancy Sophia was there to help advise on any questions and concerns I had. For example, my doctor told me to essentially just deal with my round ligament pain and take pain medication. When I brought up this pain and my doctor’s solution, Sophia helped to suggest some yoga stretches I could do to help alleviate some of that pain. She was there for me emotionally and checked in on how I was feeling/ doing. Making me feel heard, seen, and validated in everything I shared with them and was going through. She was also a great support to my husband. She helped to educate him on the labor process and answer any of his questions. And provided him with emotional support throughout the pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
For my birth one of my main worries was not being heard and having trouble advocating for myself in the hospital especially as a woman of color. My birth didn’t go as planned and was very different than what I hoped for. We felt fully supported by Sophia emotionally, their presence was very comforting and made us feel assured that someone was looking out for me and my best interests through my labor and delivery. I honestly don’t think I could have had a better doula than Sophia and I am so thankful to have had their help through this journey.
