Doula testimonial

Callie attended our birth as our doula - we thought she was fantastic, and I am hoping that she will be able to come with me to attend all my future births (I'm hoping for another three or four babies!), and obviously I also did HypnoBirthing.

Callie was with us from about 15mins after we got to the hospital, and left about an hour or so after our son was born. I loved having her with me, as she made me feel confident and comfortable. There were times during my birthng that I had convinced myself that I was losing control and was saying that I couldn't do it, and every time Callie was there telling me I could. She used promts and visualisations to help me along and keep me calm, she put on the relaxation CD, and did some light touch massage for me. It was lovely because she gave me so much support and it meant that my husband could relax and enjoy our birth (and make lots of phone calls!), and also meant that I felt even more confident. Not sure if Callie meant to do that, but she just made me feel safe.

I would say that when you choose a doula you should make sure you feel relaxed and comfortable in their company, as you definately wouldn't want someone you can't relax with (I ended up giving birth with my leg over Callies shoulder!). I was very lucky - as soon as I met Callie, I knew I wanted her to be part of our special day because she is just so lovely! Just make sure you choose who you feel will be able to make your big day how you want it to be.
