Testimonial for Sunday Tortelli, AdvCD/BDT(DONA)
I chose to work with a doula because I wanted to tackle my second birth slightly different from my first. I was looking for someone who was knowlegeable, kind and strong. I decided to move forward with Sunday after it became apparent that she was going to check way more than the silly boxes I had in my head. She asked me more questions about my birth than I ever thought possible and made me feel comfortable each time I reached out to her before my birth. I needed someone who knew what I wanted as well as I did, and someone who would remind me of what I wanted during labor. While in active labor, she predicted the actions of my midwives so that I was able to make decisions in advance. I felt more prepared and confident in these decisions because I was given "extra" time to talk them through. During labor, when I was sure I couldn't do it any longer, she gave me a little bit of tough love and reminded me that at this point there was no turning back. I couldn't have dreamed of having a better labor guide. After labor she continued to check in on me and I was so very excited to have her back in my home for a visit. I will advocate for having a doula to be in your corner, but we are lucky our doula got to be Sunday.
