Testimonial for Mia Gertsch
For the birth of my second child, I hired Mia as my doula. I feel so grateful and lucky to have stumbled upon Mia in my doula search - she was everything I needed in my birth experience and more!
Late in my pregnancy, I was experiencing a complication that required me to be induced at 37 or 38 weeks. I notified Mia and she worked with me prior to my due date to discuss what would happen in an induction and potentially a C-section. She listened to my concerns and gave me the detailed responses I needed to hear both from a factual level and emotional level. After meeting with her, I felt much more prepared for the induction.
I ended up going into labor after having a folly inserted. Mia was able to immediately come to my house after I called her and then drove behind us to the hospital. Her knowledge of when to go in really helped, as the hospital was not too helpful. She calmed me down through each contraction and helped me to relax and focus on my breathing. She was my coach every step of the way and helped me achieve the natural birth I desired.
After the delivery, she was my brain when me and my partner could not think of the little details. She ensured I was fed, my birth preferences were met, made sure I got the ice and pain meds I needed, etc. She allowed me and my partner to enjoy the moment without having to focus on the details.
I cannot say enough about the after support either. She was always a text away if I needed anything and visited us postpartum to ensure we were doing well.
We are not sure if we will have another kid, but I would not hesititare to hire Mia again. She has a calming, friendly, bubbly personality that was exactly the right fit for me. She is the best!!
