Testimonial for Tia Middleton CD, CCCE
Tia helped me deliver my third baby this past July. Having never used a doula before I was unsure what the service would entail, now I can confidently say I wish more than anything I had explored this option with my other babies! First, I decided on using a doula at the very last minute (34 weeks pregnant), and am forever grateful that Tia was flexible and willing to take me on as a client. Second, I wanted more of a holistic birthing experience to try and minimize some of the severe PPD symptoms I had experienced with my first two children. Tia's first recommendation to me was to switch providers/hospitals because my current setup was not necessarily aligned with my goals. *I am new to New England and not super familiar with the various hospitals/interventions. I am so glad I listened to Tia's guidance because my birth was a dream and exactly what I had hoped for. Tia's support on the day of my delivery was paramount to my success. She was calm, confident, knowledgable and reassuring. I've had horrendous back labor with all of my children, but with Tia's help she successfully flipped my baby from the sunny-side up position to the most optimal position, thus relieving a lot of extra pain. Lastly, Tia advocated on my behalf with the hospital staff, while I was at my most vulnerable (right after delievery), to ensure my placenta was not discarded so that I could have it encapsulated. Overall this birth and my recovery *so far have been the redemption story I had hoped for. I'm forever thankful to Tia!
