Testimonial for Melanie Conn (MM, CPD, PD)
Our experience having Melanie as our doula was nothing short of amazing. When my water broke spontaneously one evening she helped ease my mind about when to go to the hospital. My husband and I probably would have panicked and gone way too early if not for her guidance! I was able to stay home and sleep/labor through the night. When we finally decided to go to the hospital the next morning, Melanie had already been there with another client since 5:00AM but that didn't stop her from staying as long as I needed her once things started ramping up (spoiler alert, I had a looooonnngg labor). She got the room set up so it was incredibly calming. Unfortunately my baby was positioned so that I was experiencing back labor and Melanie coached and helped with positions to try to get him to move. When I decided to change my mind about going unmedicated and instead get an epidural, there was absolutely nothing but support in my decision from Melanie. When I was also faced with the decision to use Pitocin when labor was stalling after 24 hours, she helped me make that call when I was unsure. She got rid of the unknowns and uncertainties that we would have faced if we didn't have her. She was a fierce advocate and support person and finally after 30+ hours, our baby boy was delivered vaginally unassisted! I will be forever grateful we had her by our side during this experience and can't imagine doing it without her!
