She turned my hospital room into an amazing fairyland that was calm and peaceful and was hands on and helpful every step of the way.

Listen up, mama's - YOU NEED JAMIE!!!! Hiring her was THE best thing we did for our labor, hands…read moredown!! Especially if your goal is a natural delivery, you 100% need Jamie to be there with you for so. many. reasons. I'll be honest - at first, my husband and I were very hesitant because we didn't want to spend the money, but literally the day after we had our baby girl, when Jamie came to visit us we both said to her how incredibly grateful we were for her, and we agreed we would have paid her MORE now that we knew how much WORK she did for us!!! It's hard to understand what a doula can do for you if you've never hired one before. We ultimately decided to take the leap, deep down knowing it would be worth it, but it wasn't until I was in labor at the hospital and she got there to help that we really started to understand how necessary having her there was!! She immediately started setting up the room to make it more relaxing and zen-like... she dimmed the lights, strung up cute little lights around the room (and on my IV pole, which was such a cute touch!). She hung up positive and empowering birth affirmations along the wall, put new oils in my diffuser, and once the room was done she started participating in my labor in ways I never knew about, but oh my gosh it was so, so helpful!!!! I wanted to have a natural delivery but ended up needing Pitocin (I'll spare you the details). I was determined to avoid pain medication, and literally Jamie took the place of my needing that. She was the reason I was able to labor without it!! She affirmed me with literally every contraction and said I was doing a great job, she'd massage me and/or apply counter pressure to help me get through contractions, she encouraged me to change positions and told me every time I did that the contractions would feel different, which they did, and her warning me of that was so helpful for me! I had NO idea how much WORK she would put in, like physical work on her part, to help me through the waves!! She was AMAZING!!! There is no way I could have gotten through that without her, and I am so incredibly grateful for everything she did for me and for us!!! I'm telling you, you will not regret hiring Jamie!!!! She is the best!!!

Sam was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable and walked us through every process in detail and…read moreprovided evidence based information to help us make decisions that we were happy with. What sets her above and beyond is that her explanations were very thorough. We didn't need to know "the right" questions to ask to get the information we needed. I ended up needing a C-Section and having her set expectations for me was so helpful. She helped my husband be at ease and give him tasks since he was excited to be helpful. I picked Sam after interviewing several doulas because her background was very high stress and around the clock, so I felt comfortable that she would be able to handle anything that comes her way and be alert 100% and help with hard decisions if it came to that (which thankfully it didn't).

I don't know what initally led me to consider a doula for my birth but it was single-handely the…read morebest decision I made because of Samantha. I was in search of support and guidance and someone who would do so without judgement as I sorted through what was important to me, my partner and my baby in Pregnancy & Birth. Samantha opened the door to the community I was seeking. At our first meeting I knew she was someone I could trust at what was going to be the most vulnerable and intimate experience of my family's life. It takes a truly special person to do this work! She brought evidence based advice and resources to each of our visits and has always been one phone call away - my sounding board and support before and beyond the birth of my first son. Thank you Samantha for being in our lives!

Melanie is also so knowledgeable about labor, delivery and babies in general and it was so helpful to talk through with her all of our options and any questions and concerns we had throughout the pregnancy and following the birth of our son. I am so grateful we hired Melanie as our doula.

Second time coming physically to Carolina Conceptions, but it will not be my last. All of the staff…read morefrom the front to the back are very nice and patient. They made me feel at ease with every step. This was the same with Dr. Park that I saw virtually twice for my consultation and follow up. Everyone wants to care and you can feel it. Minus one star for the blood pressure machine fiasco. I told one of the medical assistants to use a manual cuff as I always run high on the automatic cuff. And I was high and in some pain, so next time I will ask them to give me some time and take it manually. Also, I hope they upgrade their water fountain in the lobby--it kept spraying me in the face--smile.

After 11 separate visits to the clinic over a year, I NEVER met the practitioner who I had selected…read moreto be my doctor - and I drove 2+ hours to get to the clinic each time. I had a healthy, successful pregnancy from my very first IVF and 3 remaining genetically normal embryos remaining after I moved to the state. At my first implantation, the doctor asked about the gender (we had 2 males and 1 female remaining. We implanted the female). The doctor said "another girl? What are you going to tell your son one day?" Doctor, that's none of your business. That implantation ended in a miscarriage. For the next two [failed] implantations, my doctor added different medications saying "at this point, the studies are all voodoo, so why not try." She knows more than me so I trusted her, which I shouldn't have done. She tested my thyroid and gave me medication but never told me how important it is to take thyroid medication separate from other medicines. I realize she's not an endocrinologist, but if you prescribe it, you should give the warning. At one point I was taking over 11 pills and a shot. She also assumed that adding more estrogen was the answer and my levels were skyrocketing. Again, I'm not the doctor. As I said, both my implantations failed. I know that IVF is never a guarantee. And I don't completely fault the facility, however, in my journey to expand my family I feel like I wasted a year at Carolina Conceptions. New to the area, I thought it was my only option. It's not.
