Kind words from our clients

To my doula— “Just want to thank you again for participating in our son’s birth. We were so happy to be able to have you involved with the births of both of our children, and your support during labor and delivery was invaluable to us. I am so happy that not only was I able to have a VBAC, but that I was able to do it without pain meds this time! We can’t wait to see you at the doula family reunion so you can see how our children have grown.”

To my doula— “I want to thank you so much for being available for the birth of my daughter. I am thankful you were there to help me with the birth process and keep me focused and calm during a labor that took me somewhat by surprise. The pain was so different the second time around and things went so fast, it sort of caught me off guard. You stepped in with such patience and grace that it helped me. I am forever thankful. For both the birth of my son, last year, and now my daughter, you were there for me. If we ever decide to have #3, I will definitely be calling you.”

My doula “went above and beyond her call of duty during my labor, (which went on for >30 hours) providing critical emotional support and valuable advice and suggestions to make my labor manageable. I recommend By Your Side Birth Services without hesitation.”

My doula “was my rock. I don’t think we could have done it without her! From her encouragement and support, to her calm attitude and manner, she was perfect!” — Cary Gillett

To my doula— “Thank you so much for your support during the birth of my baby. I appreciated your reassurance on the phone, and your help after the c-section on getting John started with breastfeeding.”

My doula “was wonderful. During labor, she had many useful recommendations, from how to cope with the pain, to bringing hot towels and helping us find popsicles. My labor lasted just over 24 hours and my doula was tireless throughout. She even called later to see how we all were doing.”
