    I knew Andrey was going to be my doula before even speaking to her. Listening to her on a podcast years before I would become pregnant, I was mesmerized by her wisdom and calm voice. Fast forward to the third trimester of my first pregnancy: after our phone interview, I was even more sure that she was the doula for me. My husband and I were on the fence only due to the financial commitment, but sitting on the other side of birth and 12 weeks postpartum, I wholeheartedly can say she was 1000% worth it. With every home visit, my husband and I felt so much more ready for the upcoming birth of our son. She checked in to see how we were doing (almost like a couples' therapist!), informed us of what to expect, and guided and prepared us for the hospital birth and postpartum. When the time came and my [very long] labor began, she was with us every step of the way. Andrey supported me in laboring at home for as long as possible, while also reassuring me that if I wanted to go to the hospital at any point, that was ok. As a very indecisive, nervous/anxious overthinker, I felt confident, safe and secure every moment of my labor, at home, in the hospital, and during the birth, and that's all because of Andrey. When I eventually checked into the hospital, my OB and the nurses all pushed unnecessary, and then a couple necessary, interventions on me, and she helped me make the right decision for each of their suggestions. My baby was born and then came the actual hard part: postpartum. Andrey was still there for all of us. She helped me feel confident in taking care of my brand new baby. She taught me how to use my breast pump and held my baby so I could get much needed sleep (note for the first 2 months of my baby's life I didn't trust ANYONE except for my husband and Andrey to hold my baby). When I woke, Andrey had delicious homemade food waiting for me, had helped with baby laundry, and had given love and attention to our dog who was recently feeling a little neglected. It was like having a postpartum fairy godmother. On top of all that, she even makes her own wellness and body care products, including a divinely warming belly oil, luscious body butter, and tea blend that I swear is the reason for my plentiful breast milk production. It's been a few weeks since our last postpartum visit and I miss her deeply. Andrey really became a part of our little family and I excitedly wait for my next pregnancy so we can welcome her back with open arms.

    What I appreciated most about Andrey is that she didnt just assist during my labor her making a point to see me as often as my doctor visits along with building a relationship with me, my husband and my mother was invaluable. Having a trusted connection was so important during this life altering change in my life. Andrey gave me support and guidance before, during and after birth. She isnt just a doula she is now apart of my family, she helped create bonds, moments and memories. To this day I still send her pictures of my daughter. The little one she helped me birth.

    Andrey with our little one at 5 weeks old!

There were parts of my experience with Faith and her team that I genuinely appreciated, as well as parts that were difficult for me and ultimately made my pregnancy more stressful than I had hoped it would be. Earlier in my pregnancy, communication was sometimes a source of stress for me. There were quite a few times when messages I sent through the chat went unanswered. One situation that particularly concerned me happened around Christmas, when I was told that my lab order might not be put in on time. I was supposed to have my progesterone checked every two weeks, and because I had experienced two prior miscarriages, going even a few days beyond that timeframe made me anxious. As my pregnancy progressed, I also struggled with some of the expectations around my care. At one point, I was told I could be put on probation for not consistently attending my chiropractic appointments, despite communicating that I was struggling financially at the time. I was required to see Sarah specifically, rather than having the option to see a chiropractor closer to me who was more affordable. The visits were also expected weekly, even during times when I felt sore afterward and felt that my body needed a break. The financial aspect became increasingly difficult for my family during the middle and later parts of my pregnancy. My insurance at the time did not cover the ultrasounds I was required to receive, so I was paying approximately $600-$900 per ultrasound on top of payments for Faith's care and chiropractic visits. There was also a $12 valet charge each time I came in for an appointment. My husband and I own a business, and we experienced a slowdown during my pregnancy, so these combined expenses became difficult to manage. I do appreciate that Faith offered me a payment plan through Credee, which helped when the costs began piling up. There were other moments when I felt more pressured than supported. I remember feeling stressed about my baby not being head-down by a certain point in pregnancy. I personally felt that my baby still had time to turn and wanted to trust my body, so the concern around it added anxiety for me rather than reassurance. I had a similar experience with recommendations around drinking 15 cups of water per day and taking herbs after some of my lab numbers were one or two points elevated. I'm personally very cautious about taking herbs or medications unless I feel they're necessary, so I declined the herbs. I sometimes felt judged or pressured when I wasn't meeting those recommendations, rather than feeling that my preferences were fully respected. Toward the end of my pregnancy, I unexpectedly learned during an ultrasound at Keck Medicine that my baby was measuring small, and I ultimately needed to transfer my care to a hospital. This was an overwhelming time, and I really appreciated Faith's support during the transfer. She helped calm me down and reminded me that I still had time to choose the hospital where I wanted to deliver and that I still had a say in my care. That helped me feel like I had some control during a situation that changed very quickly. Tahira was also incredibly helpful during this time. She researched different hospitals for me and helped me explore my options, which ultimately allowed me to choose the hospital where I felt most comfortable delivering my baby. My postpartum experience with Faith was much more positive. She came to my home to check on both me and my baby, and I found her much more pleasant and supportive during that period. After feeling like there were so many expectations I needed to meet throughout pregnancy, postpartum felt like a huge relief because I no longer felt that same pressure. I also want to mention Tchala, who was consistently calm, supportive, and pleasant throughout my experience. I really appreciated her demeanor and the way she interacted with me. Overall, I'm grateful for the support I received during some of the most important moments of my pregnancy, particularly during my transfer and postpartum period. At the same time, I wouldn't describe my overall pregnancy experience as the calm and supportive experience I had hoped for. The combination of financial pressure, required appointments, communication issues, and feeling pressured around certain recommendations created additional stress during an already vulnerable time. I'm sharing this because I think experiences with pregnancy and midwifery care can be very personal. Some families may appreciate a more structured approach with clear expectations, while others may prefer more flexibility and autonomy. For me, I would have benefited from more flexibility, responsiveness, and understanding of my individual circumstances and preferences.

In an extremely unfortunate event, my brother and sister-in-law, who were supposed to have their first baby right around my due date, suddenly lost their child during birth. I was in absolute shock and deep grief, and I was contemplating whether a home birth was the safest option for me. I found Julia, and she held my hand through every moment of fear and self-doubt throughout my prenatal care. She showed me what heartfelt understanding can look like while still not losing sight of what she knew I was capable of. I knew in my bones that a home birth was what I desired, but having this happen so close to me shook my confidence and sparked so much fear in me. During my birth, Julia held my hand every step of the way. She was proactive in her approach, giving me positions to hold that resulted in direct progression of labor, all while being very attuned to me and the baby throughout the process. I went from having a 38-hour labor with my first child to a 14-hour labor with my second, with only 4 hours of active labor. I honestly can't recommend her enough!!! Julia carries a deep understanding and love of midwifery care and her expertise are showcased in her level of care and knowledge. I had the most beautiful birth and felt so supported thanks to her guidance and heartfelt diligent care.
