Testimonial for Beth Scheppke, CD (CHB), CBC
Beth was instrumental in making my daughter’s birth the best day of my life. She also provided comfort and wisdom in the months leading up to labor delivery and the months following. She is truly the best of the best! When you’re with Beth it always feels like visit from an old friend who you haven’t seen in a while but no matter how much time has passed you alway pick up right where you left off. She always knows the exact right thing to say and is a very creative solution oriented doula. I had many twists and turns during my pregnancy and Beth always had words of encouragement and positive energy in a way that never felt cliche but very thoughtful, genuine, and personalized. She has a way of making you feel better without minimizing your pain or fears when facing unknown circumstances. I ended up having preeclampsia and going into preterm labor earlier than my contract start date which was very scary as a first time mom. Beth didn’t even think twice about coming and dropped everything she was doing to be by my side. I wanted an unmedicated birth and with that complication all ability to move around the room was lost. Beth, was unphased and got very creative with pain management through heating pads, ice, and helping move my body into different positions. I ended up reaching my goal of unmedicated birth and no tearing despite complications because of Beth’s expertise. Postpartum, Beth was an absolute ray of sunshine and rock through a very emotional time. Having a premie baby created unexpected hurdles in breastfeeding which was devastating as someone who wanted to exclusively breastfeed. But Beth was crafty here as well (of course) and happy to assist/tap into her network for lip/tongue tie release, IBCLCs, and donor milk. I plan and hope to have Beth by my side for all my future births - I cannot imagine doing it without her. To know her, is to love her and feel completely supported.
