Doulas'
Testimonials
As a new Dad I was afraid that I would let my wife down when the tough part started in labor. Janet was very reassuring and supportive to both of us. She showed me how to do the double hip squeeze and back pressure support. My wife was able to give birth the way she wanted, with no medications. Our baby girl was born alert and breastfed shortly after birth with the help of our knowledgeable doula Janet. I think every dad could use a doula and the cost is very minimal. Actually the last thing in considering her expertise in helping parents was the money. -James
I wanted a doula because my last baby was born by C/S. I wanted to go through labor and delivery this time with support and have someone to see that my wishes were respected. I had music, family, the whirlpool, and I was able to get up and walk with my membranes ruptured. It was a great delivery. Transition was hard and I had a short time to adjust before I got my epidural at 7cm. I delivered a big baby the way I wanted. I thought having a doula at first meant no epidural but Janet told me that she would always support what my wishes were. My Dr. was very supportive and worked well with my wishes. -Pam
Doulas are the best thing that ever happened for new/expecting dads. -Justin
Thank you very much, Janet was a big help and I will suggest anyone who is expecting to consider getting a doula. -Michael
Having Janet as our doula really helped me through the stages of labor – I avoided an epidural & made our experience wonderful. We will definitely recommend her and call her for our next baby. -Jennifer
For first time parents to be having a doula is a must. Having that extra person with the knowledge of what is going on and what is coming up. -Eric B.
When the pain was really bad and I felt I couldn’t go on Janet was a godsend from Heaven. Her organization and planning skills helped things go smoothly. She has a tremendous sense of humor that was essential in keeping things light.
A doula functions as friend, mentor, and most importantly support person. Janet was all of these things as well as an expert on breastfeeding. She got me through the toughest part of labor when I wanted to give up and quit. She made me realize my body was not betraying me and that the pain had a purpose. Although I was disappointed I ended up with a c-section. Janet helped me to realize a healthy mom and baby make for a successful birth no matter how the child is born. I also appreciated Janet’s knowledge of the internal workings of the maternity ward and its staff. I am very glad she was part of our miracle. -Ericka
