Testimonial for Midwest Doulas- Doulas, Placenta Encapsulation
I can’t recommend Ale and Midwest Doulas highly enough - nobody should gove birth without them! I had a lot of trepidation about the prospect of childbirth, and Ale was a huge help in pointing me to resources ahead of time, advising on recommendations for what to focus on and what not to worry about. Most importantly, she was a hero when it came to labor itself, I can’t imagine doing it without her. I had a fairly difficult labor, about 50 hours from the first induction step to the C-section in the end, including multiple failed epidurals and 4 hours of ultimately fruitless pushing along the way. It was not anyone’s version of how they hope a birth will go, but with Ale’s help and coaching it felt manageable. Ale was such a good listener both before and during the birth - she really understood what was important to me about the birth and helped try and make that happen, and when there were decisions to be made at the time she helped me talk through the options and come to a good decision. She was also great about guiding me through the process in those many times when you just need simple instructions and coaching to get through the next contraction. She also worked seamlessly with the medical team and helped me understand some of the less clear points as things were happening. Strongly recommend Ale if you’re nervous about an upcoming birth and need a wise hand to help navigate what can be a scary and difficult process, especially as a first-time mom. Best of luck!
