Testimonial for Susannah Glass
Susannah is amazing. It’s hard to put into words how integral she was to our experience. She made all the difference and choosing her as our doula was the best decision we made. We recommend Susannah as highly as possible!
Some examples of how Susannah supported us before, during, and after birth:
Before: First, she sent exercises to help me position my baby and prepare my body. These were above and beyond what I received through my birthing classes, and they made a huge difference. Second, Susannah helped us work through our birth preferences and realize our dream birth - an unmedicated water birth at a hospital. I was nervous about letting myself believe this could actually happen, but Susannah helped SO much here by talking through my anxieties. I cannot emphasize how helpful she was on this front!
During: Susannah was calming and supportive and helped us through every step. She stayed in constant contact during early labor and helped us decide when to go to the hospital. At the hospital, she advocated for me in ways that my husband and I just couldn’t (like getting me out of triage). During my contractions and pushing, she gave extremely helpful cues, which were always exactly what I needed to hear. It felt like while my body was driving the process, Susannah was right there with it, helping to guide the rest of me along. At the end of it all, I had the labor/birth of my dreams. This truly would not have happened without Susannah - I will be forever grateful!
After: Susannah stayed with us until we got settled. She got me snacks and helped manage immediate postpartum issues (ugh, stitches). The following week she visited us, which was so fun! We reflected on the experience, and in true Susannah fashion, she shared tons of resources - lactation consultants, mental health checks, etc.
In short, Susannah is the greatest. She’s kind, thoughtful, and the best possible doula we could have hoped for.
