Client 3 - Testimonial

“So when I met my doula (Amelia) I was about 35 weeks pregnant and living in a hotel … the day I met Amelia I was moving to my new temp accommodation, she helped me move out of the hotel and into my new temp and in between the moving I had an appointment at the hospital which she came with me and supported me… my doula gave me support where I needed it as I lived in Birmingham on my own without any friends/family so meeting Amelia and having the support she gave as a doula really helped me, she was there to help me through my appointments and when I was stressed and when I simply just wanted some company.

After a few weeks of meeting Amelia I was due to go to the hospital to be induced. Amelia has supported me in helping me to get clothes prams blankets etc for the baby took me to the Hospital and helped to keep me calm. I was there for 1 week at the hospital and she would check up on me to see if the baby was making a show anytime soon and to make sure I was okay. Eventually when it came to the midwives needing to help get the baby on the move Amelia stayed by my side through out my labour again keeping me stress free and happy and supporting me through it all. After 12 hours Amelia did a swap with another doula (Hope) who was just as helpful and supportive as Amelia was through out my labour.

Amelia continued to help and support me after the baby was born by helping me to give the baby her first bath and helping me to change her etc helped me by looking after the baby when I had appointments to attend and taking her out for a walk to give me some me time. Amelia has been a massive help from the day I met her to even now. And I appreciate everything both doulas did for me. They support, help and talk to you like a friend not just as something they do.”
