Testimonial for Dawn Smith
The experience that we had with Dawn was phenomenal. I knew that I wanted a doula after having my first child. I thought that I could get the experience that I wanted with just having a midwife and that was a huge mistake. For my 2nd I had a student midwife and the experience was better than my first but still not what I wanted. With my 3rd and last baby I found and met with Dawn one week before giving birth. She was communicative, responsive and hands on. She listened to what I wanted and I received just that. Having Dawn allowed my husband to just be present in the moment and took ALL of the stress off of him. I am not lying when I say during my birthing experience Dawn was more "useful" than my husband. She coached, encouraged and provided the hands on relief that I needed. I labored naturally for 10 hours and was able to catch my beautiful baby girl when she made her debut.
If you are on the fence about hiring Dawn as a doula my advice is: Do it! Don't let the idea of the cost deter you because the experience you get from having Dawn is priceless. I am a very demanding person and she was great about everything. I was able to accomplish ALL of my goals- goals that I had since my first- and I credit Dawn for that.
