Hands down the BEST doula ever!
Hands down the BEST doula ever! After my first child, I knew I wanted a doula for my second and when I found out that certain Medicaid now covers the cost, I was ecstatic! First meeting with Bridgette was heaven sent and I was so comfortable & at ease! We discussed my previous pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding, & postpartum experience and my dream experience this second time around. During my entire pregnancy she was a phone call or text away at any time, giving so much knowledge & answering any questions or concerns I had. My labor was absolutely PHENOMENAL from the aromatherapy, massages, & helping with dilating QUICKLY! We laughed the ENTIRE time and the atmosphere was so great that even the nurses & doctors kept coming in the room with us to get some good energy! The support was through the roof! I didn’t have any family that was around until it was time to push, so the fact that Bridgette was there & helping me along the way was everything! She even stayed overnight with me in the hospital because I didn’t have family that was able to come & was induced at 4pm one day and baby didn’t come until about 2pm the next day. After that, she helped with postpartum & breastfeeding as well. With my first I had difficulties breastfeeding and Bridgette made sure this time around everything was good to go! Even when my baby boy & I were struggling with latching during the first week, Bridgette came next day to make sure we got it handled since that first week is crucial for lactation. Fast forward 7 weeks later at my postpartum appointment, my doctor was still raving about her and telling me how she was handing out her business cards to patients. If I could give a thousand stars, I would. I HIGHLY recommend Bridgette as the number one doula!
