Testimonial for Adara Parker
Adara was an amazing coach during my birth experience and I would choose her again for a future pregancy if I have one. When I birthed my first child, I felt a little lost on how to work through contractions because of some miscommunication at the hospital. Despite working with a midwife, I did not feel like I had a coach who was able to tell me how to manage labor because the midwife didn't show up until nearly the end of labor.
When I became pregnant with my second child, we contacted Adara and she was a perfect fit for us. I appreciated that she came to our house for prenatal visits. She even gave me books to read that put me in the right mindset on having a natural birth at the hospital. When the time came for my second child to be born, Adara was available and ready to meet us at the hospital. Labor this time around was harder for me as I was more exhausted due to lack of sleep. Adara though showed me techniques to use to work through contractions and how to rest some as well. Adara assured me that being in the bathtub would help with contractions and it did. I ended up having a water birth which surprised me. My son came quickly after my water was broken and I got in the tub. I had thought previously about having a water birth but was afraid of the what it would be like because I don't do well with seeing blood. Adara gave me the extra assurance of how being in the water would help with pain and I am grateful that she guided me. I felt like being in the water lessen the pain and relaxed my mind. I am now proud to say I had a water birth for my son and that I had a safe and healthy delivery.
I would definitely recommend Adara.
