Testimonial for Joy Ogbonnaya
This is my third pregnancy but first time considering and utilizing a doula service. During my first and second pregnancy, a doula service was hard to get and the service details were not clear; I knew of midwives but didn't really heard of doulas. Even this time around, I was hesitant to utilize the service because I wasn't clear what doulas do but I'm glad I decided to use a doula. Joy was assigned to me; she accompanied me to 2-3 US and NST appointments, adviced me to make a birth plan, asked my permission to discuss and ask pertinent questions about my health issues to the obgyn which was helpful because at week 34 my brain was mushy and I was physically and mentally drained so her questions are questions I thought about but forgot to ask myself. Joy was with me at my appointments, inducement, labor post labor, and 2 postpartum visits to my house. again, she played a very intricate part of asking questions to each team that entered the room. She basically was advocating for my a every single point with my permission every time. I will definitely recommend a doula and Joy cause she was very professional, soft spoken but tough with her questions.
