Trudi was our doula and she was amazing! I wasn't sure about having a doula but so glad I did - it made the experience less stressful, took the pressure off my husband and meant he could focus purely on me and baby. She was also fantastic help with breastfeeding - it's so important to get to grips with a good latch early on and Trudi really helped me to get the hang of it.
"(Trudi) made the experience less stressful"
I was struggling with breastfeeding and within in minutes Trudi transformed the experience for baby and I. It’s was so incredibly valuable to have someone come to the house, listen to my struggles and just get stuck in. At a time of desperation, Trudi offered support, kindness and encouragement, I just wish I had contacted her sooner! We are now successfully breastfeeding and I don’t think we would have got here without her help.
"I wish I'd contacted her sooner!"
I attended one of Trudi’s breastfeeding workshops and I am so glad I did, she is full of brilliant information and useful tips and I left feeling a hundred times more confident and informed. Trudi is so easy to talk to and welcoming and made me feel at ease. She helped with some great advice and support to get my contractions going when my waters broke. She also came out for a home visit to help with breastfeeding when I was struggling in the early days and without her I don’t think I would have been able to carry on as successfully as I did. I am so grateful for all of her help!
"She is like a pregnancy Fairy-God Mother"
Trudi was my wife's doula and helped in delivering both our babies. Apart from providing expert baby advice, early parenting guidance and a massive amount of info you just don't get told (even in all the books,) she also helped me, the Dad. I can't thank Trudi enough for that.
I remember her 'bringing me back' after getting a little zoned-out and emotional in the delivery room. She looked me in the eye and said 'you'll really want to remember this bit' and focused me. She was right. Kind, gentle, caring and truly wonderful.
