For my second pregnancy, I had a gut feeling it was going to be a lot different than my first and I was right. I can’t stress enough how important it was this time around that I had Hannah by my side pre birth, during labor, and postpartum. She was a tremendous aid and blessing to both me and my husband during this challenging time in our lives. Even though it was our second time around having a baby, my birth plan was entirely different with new challenges. Hannah went above and beyond helping me feel comfortable and confident with all the decisions I had to make for my birth plan and my newborn baby. She was able answer questions and walk me through my fears and concerns. I felt very educated by the end of my pregnancy and even after thanks to Hannah’s wealth of knowledge.
During labor, Hannah helped me get through the most painful and toughest times. I was able to use different techniques that neither the nurse or doctor was able to offer me at the hospital. Hannah helped me through contractions with different breathing techniques, holding my hand, practicing countering pressures, and allowing me to use the rebozo scarf. My husband who was very hands-on during my first pregnancy was able to more or less sit back during my second labor since Hannah was so involved and brilliant with helping me as much as she could to make me feel empowered and confident as a woman.
Postpartum was also a challenge for me in many ways even though I had been through this recently before with my firstborn. Hannah again was right by my side checking in on me over the phone, in person, and offering advice and support as always. Her support gave me the strength and confidence I needed in order to face my toughest and most wearing days as a mom. I highly recommend Hannah as a doula. She will help you have a positive experience by empowering you as a woman physically, emotional, mentally, and spiritually. Despite if it is your second, third, or tenth time having a baby, theres always going to be unknown factors, new situations, and circumstances that can play a part during pregnancy, labor, and afterbirth. By having Hannah as your doula, it will make all the difference in having a more positive experience for both mom and baby.

Hannah Nesspor was the obvious choice to go with when considering a doula. Her heart and passion towards mom and baby is evident in all that her services provide. During pregnancy she was an essential resource in preparing for my moment going into Motherhood. I felt informed and ready for labor. Of course, as much as you can plan out your birth, things don’t always go the way you want. Which in my case was the situation. However, Hannah was there every step of the way, showing me how to be an advocate for my health and the baby. The atmosphere she created truly made all the difference. Everyone that walked into my labor room mentioned the tranquility they felt. Once my child was born, she helped me transition and showed me other options that were available to feeding my child that the Hospital staff didn’t even know about. And when we were home, still struggling with breastfeeding, she was able to come over and help my child latch with a shield. This temporary solution has enabled me to breastfeed my child into a healthy weight. I’m so thankful for this because it allows me to bond with my child in the way that I always wanted. So even though my labor didn’t go as planned, my bond with my child and confidence into motherhood has. Hannah continues to be an essential support and I look forward to a future delivery with her as my doula.

Hannah was my doula for my birth with my second son, Malcom. She was very open, helpful, very descriptive to help with understanding. Having a doula was helpful for me to know what I could have or do during my delivery, recovery, and at home. Hannah helped me prenatally in understanding breastfeeding and what all of my options at the hospital for delivery and helped when I had trouble. At home, I was more confident in knowing I’d be okay with changes that may come. She was always available and ready to help. I was able to use Motherboard Birth, one of her affiliate programs for birth planning and liked how it listed all of my options for OR deliveries and recovery planning. I would definitely recommend Hannah. She was great with info, help, and will always be there for you.

What are Transcend Families saying?"...Hannah has become so much more than that. She supported us every step of the way—from being almost absurdly available during my pregnancy for questions or just to chat, to helping us find donor milk when we found out our baby wasn’t getting enough to eat, to texting me to do a postpartum check in while she was on vacation. I probably should have used the hypnobirthing techniques I’d practiced or printed out reminders of how I envisioned our son’s birth happening, but in failing to do any of that, I discovered just how amazing of a doula Hannah is. All I needed during the intense moments was her voice reminding me that this was all to bring baby earth side, to use my breath, to spontaneously get in our bathtub (because I hadn’t gotten the birth pool I obviously should have). I had no idea of the blessing Hannah would become when I first spoke with her. She knows what you need before you do and even when you don’t. She will take care of you, be silly with your toddler, and lovingly help you bring your baby into this world. And at the end of it all, you will feel like you have made a new friend with the warmest heart, who loves your babies almost as much as you do." ~Brittany B. |
