I 100% would recommend hiring the Shoals Doula for labor support services. I met Katie at the…read morehospital when my wife was in labor and she made our experience at the hospital so memorable with her calming, loving, and fun presence. She recognized what my wife wanted and did everything she could in ensuring her birth plan went smoothly by helping cater to her physical and emotional needs before, during, and after labor. Back Story: For my wife's first pregnancy, she said she wanted to hire a doula and have this individual come with us to the hospital. Completely clueless, I was hesitant and did not see the value from a cost perspective and overall thought it was a strange concept. I was definitely not sold on the idea and I expressed I did not like the idea every time the conversation came up. Well, we had our first baby during the height of the Covid pandemic and hospitals were only allowing one support person (me) at the time of our son's birth so hiring a doula was no longer an option as it was when we first found out we were pregnant. At the time, I was somewhat thankful the doula talk was over and that it was no longer an option, however I would have still supported my wife if it was still an option and if it is what she really wanted. My wife's pregnancy went well so I assumed we would go to the hospital and easily have the baby when the time came. As soon as we got there, my wife's birth plan began to unravel. The wireless monitoring did not work, she did not progress as quickly as hoped, her body had complications with the epidural, she or the baby did not respond well to Pitocin, and the list goes on. 36 hours later, my wife was laying on the hospital bed exhausted, hurting, shaking, and she developed a fever after her water broke. Long story short, we ended up in the operating room in an emergency C-section scenario. I had given her my all as an emotional support but was at my breaking point with seeing her suffer for so long. After they got our son out and he began crying, I lost it. I was sitting in the operating room emotionally and physically exhausted and had felt like I had been punched in the face without any warning. I remember the nurses in the operating room saying come here dad and take some pictures. At the time, I was so disoriented and felt numb to everything happening at a rapid rate. I gave the nurse my phone and thankfully she got some good pictures I often go back and look at. I remember thinking, this is supposed to be happy, it was not supposed to be this difficult. When things settled down and we got situated I just had an overwhelming thankfulness for a healthy mom and baby. I left out a lot of detail but that is the short version of how our first son's birth went. 13 months later, my wife brought me a cup of coffee one Saturday morning and she said "hey I am pregnant again". My wife wanted to go for a VBAC so the planning began immediately and we both were adamant that this time things would be different. As soon as she mentioned hiring a doula, I said let's do it, anything you need that you think may help, I support you entirely. When hiring a doula, she offers birthing classes, one on one consultations, recommended stretching routines, foods to eat/ avoid, etc. When the time came, my wife went into labor on her own. We called and asked when would be a good time to go to the hospital again even though we had been through everything with her. It was more for comfort at that point and hearing Katie remind us of everything was encouraging at the time. We ended up leaving for the hospital around 1:00 a.m. and Katie made her way to the hospital the next morning (she would have come immediately in the middle of the night if we had asked her to). When things during this birth started trending against what we had planned, Katie was there to offer advice and give us options over every important decision we had to make at the hospital. I was able to step out of the room periodically when my wife was laboring and take a quick "mental break" and that made a world of difference for me. I was able to come back in and could support my wife much better than I had during our first son's birth. Well, unfortunately she stalled at 8 cm dilation and we made the very difficult decision to go back in for a repeat caesarian before things turned into an emergency situation. It was definitely not the plan but having a doula gave us the confidence that we did absolutely everything physically possible we could and it helped when it came time to make difficult decisions. Having Katie involved with our second son's birth was so encouraging and I was so thankful she was able to be apart of this huge life event for us. Her being there also gave us closure on our first son's birth and that made all the difference and for that I will forever be grateful.

Our experience with Katie, as both a Labor Doula and a Postpartum Doula, has been nothing short of…read moreexcellent. I highly recommend her and her services. Katie walked alongside me for both of my pregnancies and offered endless encouragement, resources, and guidance. As our Postpartum Doula, she was an essential part of our lives for the first several months after our youngest was born. She showed up each scheduled day and offered to help in whatever way we needed, whether that was helping take care of our newborn, our toddler, daily chores around the house, food prep, support/encouragement/resources, etc. Katie also helped ease me back into the world and went with us on our first outings. Overall, I felt much more refreshed my second time around postpartum and I attribute that to having Katie's help. The postpartum period is an extremely vulnerable time, and I always felt comfortable around Katie to be my true self and let her know what I needed. She has a way of making everyone around her feel loved and valued. She went above and beyond to do special things for our family and I am forever appreciative to all the many ways she has helped us over the past several years.

My first meeting was via Zoom and it was professional yet laid back. Tracy answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable like we had already known each other forever. Even though I was 35 weeks pregnant, I signed up for the full birth package! The best part was that my insurance even covered it! I hired the Rocket City Doulas because they have a lot of experience with all kinds of births, are non-judgemental about your birth plan, and are all moms. As a first-time mom who is considered "geriatric" pregnant during a pandemic, I had no idea what to expect. I'm so glad that I hired a doula, even if it was for the last few weeks of my pregnancy. From the moment I met her at the hospital through checking in, labor, birth, and watching my son latch, Tracy was amazing. She was made to be a doula!! She made me less stressed about the biggest day of my life and I will forever be grateful for that. Tracy is kind, funny yet assertive, smart, and she knows what she's talking about. She's basically that friend who has your back no matter what, and when you're pregnant that's exactly who you want with you while you're pregnant or in labor (especially during a pandemic). Highly recommend!! Thank you Rocket City Doulas!!

There are so many supplies you just can't find at bigger box stores, and Glenni does her best to source her products locally whenever possible. The two biggest sections are breastfeeding accessories and cloth diapering supplies (they even stock Green Mountain Diapers). They also have some Green Sprouts solid food accessories, a few baby carriers (Boba, Ergo, Ktan), a selection of baby clothes (some organic), and a few maternity items. If they don't have something you want, Glenni will often make a few phone calls to try and find it for you. Once I was in a cloth diapering "emergency" while in Atlanta, and she called all her GA counterparts trying to find me the supplies I needed! They are also a great source of knowledge for natural parenting and host pregnancy/birth/breastfeeding classes and mommy groups at the store. I've come here several times just to nurse my infant in the middle of a long shopping day. Glenni is very welcoming and sets you up with a footstool and nursing pillow, anything you need. She will offer help with any breastfeeding issues you may be dealing with. To sum up, I can't say enough good things about ANM. Their products, service, and philosophy are all wonderful. Why shop anywhere else for your baby needs??

My situation was very different than most and I'm so glad that she decided to take me on as a client. At the time, I was traveling the county with my husband and 3 kids full time in an RV and knew that I'd be in the Nashville area when I'd be close to my due date. Maggie agreed to take me on at around 27 weeks when so many other midwifes backed out because of my different living situation. An RV birth wasn't easy, but Maggie was so wonderful and positive throughout the entire experience.
