Testimonial for Angela Racy
My wife was thinking about her testimonial and I insisted on writing one too. We had a very unique and unfortunate situation so my wife had to induce labor 5 weeks early. It was a very stressful time for our family because of this, and it was the last thing you'd want to go through with any of your pregnancies, let alone the first one for both of us. Stress and fear were at an all-time high for me. I was a total wreck. When Angela came in, it immediatley took (some of) the weight off my shoulders. She's such a calming energy that - even though she was there to support my wife - helped me to settle down and focus on the birthing process. My wife was in a lot of pain and couldn't take any of the medications because of her situation. Angela brought out all the tricks to naturally alleviate her pain (and my emotional pain). In addition to being attentive to my wife, she was also quick to build rapport with the nurses, doctors. She's such a people person that a couple of the nurses remembered her, which helped build a sense of community in the room. It really felt like a team in there and it helped me avoid thinking about all the things that could go wrong. I'll also note that days later... we spoke with one of our doctors when he came to check up on my wife. He mentioned that usually they have a combative relationship with doulas because they're so set on natural births. He said: "but you had a really good doula." So this is like a 2-fer testimonial: one from the husband/father, and one from a doctor. Again... I am seriously and eternally grateful for Angela and her role that day. For any husbands/fathers who may think their wife is being a little "weird" trying to get a doula (like, admittedly, I was in the beginning lol), do yourself a favor and make sure it's Angela.
