I could not recommend Angelica more to anyone looking for the best support possible while bringing life to this world.
Let’s start by the selection of my doula: This was my first baby, and I myself work in health care so I consider myself pretty knowledgeable when it come to human body and medical field. I interviewed 4 different doulas, but Angelica was the first one who made me feel (in a good way) that she knew more than me, while validating all the knowledge I already had. That was a very important point for me for when choosing a doula.
Second; from the moment we started working together until the delivery, she was here for every question I had. She also helped me advocate with my OB to delay a possible induction (I had a perfectly healthy pregnancy). On the day of, she was a text away or a call away when the contractions where further apart, and she was here as soon as they got closer. My husband was really reluctant to have a doula, but she helped him help me through the contractions, and it was an incredibly peaceful teamwork that emerged! I did not want an epidural so we stayed home as long as possible, and Angelica was here to reassure us and monitor things along the way. When it was time to go, she sent my husband to get the car and stayed with me. She was the perfect link between him and I where I could focus on my contractions and keep us moving. Once at the hospital she was the most incredible support and advocate you can dream of!! We had to make some importants decisions, and she was here to tell us the pros and con of the choice we were offered!! She also became the link between us and the medical staff as she knew exactly my birth plans!! When it was time to push, she was here and her and her smile and amazing mood made me full of energy. During the golden hour she showed me how to nurse my son and it was absolutely magical!!
I could not recommend Angelica more to anyone looking for the best support possible while bringing life to this world. And my husband, who at first was against a doula, said it was the best money we could have spent, and our birth experience would have been very different if she was not here.
