Dauphin County Doulas - The first photo of me holding my daughter

Dauphin County Doulas

(8 reviews)

When I learned that my employer had a benefit through the company Carrot for reimbursement for…read morepostpartum services I started to look into doulas in our area. As a first time mom, I really had no idea what help a doula could provide, but after doing some research and talking to my OBGYN, my husband and I reached out to Amy at Dauphin County Doulas. Amy set up a zoom call for us to connect and discuss what I was hoping to achieve working together and it was a great experience from the very beginning. Education and baby basics, as well as another set of hands to help, were my main goals. My husband and I both can honestly say we got that and more working with Amy! I had some complications during my delivery that got my breastfeeding journey off to a slow start. Amy was at my house the day after I got home from the hospital and provided invaluable support and knowledge about nursing in those critical first days. Having someone so knowledgeable to weigh in on our specific circumstances in my home, without me having to go to a lactation consultant appointment at the hospital, saved my husband and I hours of going down internet rabbit holes as first time parents. She helped me as I dealt with some baby blues and the physical issues that come with having a c-section. From making sure I was eating a healthy lunch to helping me with the baby between feeds so I could take a much needed nap, I wouldn't have been able to heal and recover as quickly as I did without Amy helping me 2-3 days a week the first few weeks. We worked together until my son was around 8 weeks old and the version of us she left was night and day different from the version she saw day one. He is a thriving, happy baby who is gaining weight at a really good rate exclusively breastfeeding and is sleeping through the night already at 12 weeks because of our time spent working together. I will forever be grateful for Amy getting us through those difficult first weeks and can't recommend working with her and Dauphin County Doulas enough. We will definitely be calling them for baby #2 down the road!

I had the pleasure of working with Amy and Cheyla for labor preparation and labor, and Lucy and…read moreMegan for postpartum services. They were all fantastic! I had such a positive birth and postpartum experience thanks to their support and expertise. With Amy and Cheyla's help, I was able to approach labor with confidence and empowerment, and experience the fast and unmedicated birth I had hoped for (but did not think possible). I highly recommend Dauphin County doulas! Everyone is super helpful, professional, and communicative.

Zero stars if i could! This place is HORRIBLE! First off, i gave birth to my son at upmc of lititz…read moreand i had the worst experience of my life! My first baby and now I'm so traumatized i don't know if i want any more. I was scheduled to be induced and they ended up giving me an emergency c section mainly because of my weight (im plus sized) they treated me horrible cuz of my weight. Super unprofessional, Dr. Livingston and Dr. Syad did my c sections and i was so uncomfortable they didn't explain anything to me, i ended up having a panic attack so bad in the operating room bc they didn't explain what was happening and i was so worked up they took forever to get let my boyfriend come in the OR which made things so much worse. Not to mention i told the dr. How the midwife had treated me so poorly and all she had to say was "my eyes only look forward" me and my boyfriend couldn't believe how they had treated me! Super uncaring and cold! ALSO I ENDED UP GETTING A HUGE ABSCESS INFECTION AFTER MY C SECTION. I had to be in the hospital for 7 days and ripped away from my newborn because these so called Drs. Dont know how to do their jobs!!!! I could sit here and write an entire novel on how they acted towards me but i dont have the time (obviously). DO NOT EVER go here you will regret it just like i did!

The check-in staff at this location are top notch. They are efficient, kind, and have always…read moretreated me with respect. We have used OBGYN of Lancaster for our 2nd miscarriage and now currently for our first birth (to be). Dr. Livingston (at the Etown campus) is amazing. With our miscarriage she explained everything, was straightforward and to the point, yet also held emotional space for us. I never felt rushed out with her and really felt she wanted to help us the best that she could. She akways took time to connect with me as a patient and it's evident she takes pride in her work. I would trust her completely. She was also patient with next steps, as we wanted time to heal before moving forward. When we did move forward, she did a procedure/test for me that was extremely uncomfortable, but she was so quick and efficient, (even though I'm sure I could've done my part better to make it easier for her). She did an excellent job and gave me results immediately. For our current pregnancy, we've been primarily at the Lititz location so we could meet more providers. We have enjoyed every midwife we've seen (Terri, Adanma, Erin, Jessica, Patti), and as far as doctors we've seen (Livingston, Satorie, Fromuth). We have been pleased with all of the doctors until today's NST/Biophysical Appt. (thus the docking of the 5th star). We enjoyed Dr. Fromuth in each visit prior, but today he treated us differently. Our results from the NST/Biophysical were all great and fluid was measuring at a level that is open to interpretation, but not bad by any means. He knew our wishes were to avoid an induction unless absolutely medically necessary, but was still frustratingly pushy. (Considering fluid levels can change based on mother's hydration, and I wasn't well hydrated today, I hardly consider a medium score a reason to schedule an induction). He did share some research, which I'm familiar with, but did not find particularly helpful or relevant as the study was on FTM at 39 weeks, not 41 weeks. The insistence on induction was not really the issue, but rather an unwarranted, rude comment he made when I was asking questions about the UPMC induction procedures. He mentioned Pitocin, Foley Bulb, Cytotec (also known as Misoprotol, a medicine designed for the stomach NOT the uterus, but often used in OB medicine, and a medical option I had previously declined when having both of my miscarriages due to possible side effects and negative results on uterine tissue). I then calmly mentioned how I was not really comfortable with the Cytotec, to which he retorted "Well, welcome to motherhood! Where you have to often do what you don't prefer!" I started crying in the office (embarrassing), and had to stand up to offer myself a tissue. It was a disappointing visit, as I expect more empathy from my providers. My husband was also incredibly shocked & offended at Fromuth's comment on my instinctual ability to be a mother. Fromuth is strictly a "facts" doctor, which is fine, but I prefer providers who can ALSO show decency to their patients and who validate patient's perspectives and feelings. Fromuth easily could have said, "I understand that you may be opposed to this option, and that's completely okay for you to feel that way, we would only use it if deemed medically necessary for your situation." As a person who comes from a history of, which is ON my file, others making decisions FOR me and/or without my consent, can be extremely distressing & damaging emotionally and mentally. I still like this practice as MOST everyone treats us SO well, but I will not be seeing Dr. Fromuth again, as that is at least something I can choose that he cannot. Now I am very stressed and emotionally distraught about our upcoming induction, for fear of others treating me with this same disregard.
