Testimonial for Adriana Babler, Ph.D., CD(DONA)
We knew from our first meeting that Adriana was the doula for us. Her calming voice and demeanor were just what we were looking for in a support person. Throughout my pregnancy Adriana was there with tons of helpful information and support, but always with an objective and unbiased perspective. All of the decisions were our own, she merely helped shed light on pros and cons of anything we asked about. She checked in on me frequently to ensure I was doing well and to see if I needed anything. When it came to "D-Day" she was amazing. We called her at 2:30 in the morning to let her know that contractions had started and she stayed on the phone with me for about 30 minutes to see how i was progressing and to talk me through it. Initially she was going to come to our house for us to labor at home, but I was progressing to strong and fast so we met at the hospital. She and my husband were an amazing team. They fed me crushed ice and gatorade and held my hands through every contraction. Adriana had her bag of tricks with her to adapt to the ever changing situations in a delivery room. She played calming music, rubbed my back when needed and most importantly, always knew the right thing to say to encourage me and keep me going. When it came to pushing, she was a wonderful cheerleader. Once our son was born she took the first pictures of us as a family and stayed through my first breastfeeding session. She even accompanied us to the mother/baby room to ensure that we got settled well. I can't imagine my birth without her. She helped ensure that we had the birth experience we wanted and we're forever grateful.
