Testimonial for Alexandra Blanchard
We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional support and care Allie provided throughout my pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum journey. We wholeheartedly would recommend her services to anyone seeking a doula.
Allie was a constant source of comfort, significantly easing my anxiety during the pregnancy. Both my husband and I were deeply impressed by both the breadth and depth of her knowledge on every topic we discussed. She made us feel entirely comfortable bringing our questions and concerns to her. She also always responded promptly and thoroughly with evidence-based information that gave us confidence in our decisions. When she identified that our initial OB practice wasn’t aligned with the type of care we desired, she suggested a switch to a practice better suited to our needs. Following her advice led to an immediate and notable improvement in our experience.
During labor and birth, Allie's calming presence transformed the delivery room into a welcoming environment, allowing me to labor more comfortably. She always seemed to anticipate what would come next and communicated this effectively, giving us the time we needed to make informed decisions.
One of the most striking examples of Allie’s positive impact occurred during our postpartum visit. There, she noticed that I was exhibiting symptoms of postpartum preeclampsia and calmly yet clearly advised that we return to the hospital as a precaution. Her intuition proved exactly right, enabling us to get the necessary care much sooner and allowing the doctors to address a potentially serious condition before it worsened.
