Pavlich, Amanda

I recently delivered my fourth baby and am so thankful I had Amanda throughout my pregnancy and delivery. I desperately wanted a VBAC this delivery, and Amanda was always available to answer questions and advocate for my wishes. She was so knowledgeable and always available to answer questions which is so comforting when you're feeling uneasy or not well. My birthing experience, despite the hospital COVID-19 procedures was almost perfect and everything I'd hoped for. Amanda was an additional comfort and support in the delivery room and she was truly a blessing.

Amanda was my doula for the birth of my 2nd little girl on 12/24/19. With my first birth my husband and I didn’t really make a birth plan and I had so much fear. Having Amanda help us tailor our birth plan and give us all the options was so helpful. Amanda was amazing during the birth. I ended up needing to be induced. She kept me very calm and was able to help me get through contractions with many techniques I would have never known to try. She was able to direct my husband in ways to help as well so we were still able to have a great labor experience as he certainly wanted to be involved but wasn’t always sure what would be helpful. This is awesome because during contractions it was hard for me to express what would be helpful. I was able to make it to 10cm with no medication!! I was so surprised and proud of myself. I never thought I would be able to do that. Amanda has continued to support us after birth. She has provided support and breast feeding tips. Overall, it was one of the best decisions we made! I wish I had known the benefits of a doula many years ago during my first birth!! I highly recommend Amanda. She is the best! I would be happy to talk to anyone who has questions or would like to know more about our experience.
