Doula Triin
Rufus' birth
Since I had a very traumatic experience with my first birth, I decided to hire a doula for my second birth. I got Triinu's contact from my friend and soon we met.
The communication was good and we waited for the arrival of the new baby. In the meantime, we met again and he also did a home visit with Kundalini yoga.
Finally, the day came when the baby decided to come. The labor started quite intensively and we met in the maternity hospital. Things got even more intense in the delivery room and Triin was the biggest help with everything. She did back massages, offered heating bag, suggested positions, etc., etc.
I can honestly say that on the most difficult day of my life, I felt very protected! The best decision.
Eke's birth
Eke was born on February 25 in his home in Tallinn.
The pain started quietly already on February 24th, but on the recommendation of our midwife, we calmly went home and slept through the night without any worries.
In the evening of the next day, the contraction pain started regularly, and when the pain got really big, we called Triinu over.
Besides the fact that Triin was always there before and after the birth and was interested in our well-being, she was able to be an unexpectedly great support during the birth. She gave us enough privacy but was able to help immediately when I ran out of ideas myself. I really can't even imagine how I would have coped without Triinu's help.
Triin helped me breathe through absolutely all the contractions and directed me in such a way that the pain immediately got less painful. In the meantime, I even came to think that I don't know how Triin will manage on her own, because breathing in as strongly for 7 hours, without having to give birth herself, can definitely put a person in an interesting state. I am extremely grateful to Triinu for this great and very important help.
I think exactly the same as my midwives thought that doula services should be available and publicly funded at every birth.
Kadri's story
After the baby was born and came home from the hospital, we had a problem with breastfeeding, and the baby was not gaining weight. As a new mother, I was very worried and anxious.
I asked Triina for help and she responded immediately and came to our home. I received many different tips and tricks, including how to make breastfeeding more comfortable.
Triin also looked over the baby's breastfeeding picture and shared useful information.
Triin had such a calming effect on me with her calmness and caring. I really needed her home visit at that moment and I recommend all new mothers to contact Triinu with any concerns!
Kätlini lugu
It wasn't until 38 weeks that my partner and I decided that we wanted to involve someone in the birth, since it was our first birth, so I felt insecure before the process and knew that I would be reassured by the involvement of a doula or a private midwife.
I got Triinu's contact from my mother and contacted her. I was very nervous because I didn't know if Triin would have time for me anymore. Triin responded very quickly and we immediately reached a beautiful agreement.
My first child was born by brith induction, meaning I had to be alone in the hospital, which scared me a lot. I got support from Triin through messages, and at night, when things got more intense, I called her. Triin answered the phone right away, calmed me down and was a huge support for me to get through the night alone.
In the morning I was already in the delivery room. Since the sores were already quite painful, Triin immediately started giving me a back massage, it was incredibly pleasant and a great help. Among other things, Triin also supported my life partner, she explained the process and encouraged my partner to help me, and at the same time reminded my partner to drink water and take a breath.
Triin offered support all the time - offered water, opened the window, offered positions, gave a massage, brought a heat bag, asked what I would like and how I would like to be, encouraged me to try different positions during contractions. She was 100% there the whole time.
Triin also paid us a home visit. In the process, we were able to discuss childbirth, we watched breastfeeding and as first-time parents we got a lot of baby care tips and with it peace of mind :).
Wonderful support from a warm and caring person!
Liisi lugu
Sünnitasin viimati tosina aasta eest ning (esilekutsutud) sünnituskogemus (Keskhaiglas) polnud tollal just kõige meeldivam.
Seekord otsustasin sünnitusele doula abiks võtta, et oleks kindlus selles, et minu ja arstide vahelises suhtluses midagi kaduma ei lähe.
Triinu teadsin juba varem, mistõttu oli lihtne tema kasuks otsustada.
Tundus, et sünnitust ma ei karda, kuid doulat arvasin ka väga vaja minevat mu mehe jaoks, kes eesootavat väga pelgas.
Nii läkski, et kui sünnitustegevus pihta hakkas, saime Triinuga kokkuleppele, et ta viib mu ise haiglasse.
Olin oma tuhudega kodus ja vannis ja ükshetk sain aru, et tuhudel enam väga pause polegi.
Siis läks kiireks.
Triin oli kümne minutiga meie juures, kupatas meid auto tagaistmele ja kihutasime haiglasse.
Ma pole kindel, kas autos oli juba väljutusperiood, igatahes haiglas saime olla pool tundi ja oligi laps käes.
Selgus aga, et doulat oli ennekõike mul endal vaja. Ta juhendas mind hingamisel nii autosõidul, haiglakoridorides kui sünnitustoas..
Selgus, et ma ei hinganud korralikult sisse.
Triin suutis veel kogu toetustegevuse juures ka môned pildid jäädvustada ning oli hoolitsemas ka siis, kui laps juba rinnal.
Mu mehel hakkas haiglas suisa pea ringi käima kuid Triin suutis teda nõnda toetada, et ta ikka ilusti vastu pidas ja kenasti toeks oli.
Tagantjärele on mu kaasa väga tänulik, et ta tütre sünni juures oli.
Täna ei soovitaks ma kellelgi doulata sünnitama minna!
Laura lugu
Mul ei olnud doulat ei sünnitusel ega sünnitusjärgsel ajal toeks.
Täna võin öelda, et võtaksin doula kindlasti appi sünnitusjärgsel ajal ja seda kindlasti esimese lapse puhul (ja eriti kui vanaemasid ei ole kuskil lähedal.) Doula julgustus ja õpetused oleksid kindlasti ära kulunud esimestel nädalatel, võibolla 1-4 nädalal.
Doula saab aidata nõu ja jõuga nii lapse hooldusel, hoolitsemisel kui ka imetamisnõustajana. Lisaks annab meelerahu ja enesekindlust.
Kindlasti soovitan.
Maarja lugu
Triin oli mu teise lapse sünni juures.
Kaalusin pikalt, kas on vaja doulat kaasta. Mul oli väike vahe lastel (1,4 a) ning eelmine sünnitus veel meeles. Samas oli esimesest pikast sünnitusest ikka kripeldus hinges, et see kogemus polnud päris selline, nagu ma oleks lootnud. Soovisin, et seekord suudaksin tuhusid paremini üle hingata ning et sünnitusest jääks meeldiv mälestus.
Leidsin Triinu kontakti doulade lehelt ning kirjelduse järgi tundus ta mulle soe ja sõbralik inimene. Kohtusime Triinuga üks kord enne sünnitust ning see vestlus oli nii armas ja vahetu, nagu oleksin teda juba ammu tundnud.
Sünnituse ajal oli Triinu mulle suureks abiks tuhude üle hingamisel ning hingas minuga kõik kaasa. Aitas haiglapersonaliga suhtlemisel, hoidis soojakotti, tuletas meelde vee joomist ning julgustas mind igati, kui mul oli jaks lõppemas. Mehel oli ka kergem, kuna kogu tugiisiku raskus ei olnud ainult tema kanda. Olen väga rahul, et kaasasime teise lapse sünnituse juurde doula.
Ma suutsin tuhusid paremini üle hingata, ei vajanud epiduraali ning laps sündis üleootuste kiiresti.
Rubi sünnipäev
Armas Triinu osales meie kalli tütre, Rubi sündimise juures 15.02.2025.
Arvasin alati, et mina olen see, kes läheb sünnitama üksi ja kedagi enda lähedale ei soovi, sest et ... mina ise!:)
Raseduse keskel tuli aga tunne ja taipamine, et soovin endale siiski ruumihoidjat ja kedagi, kes pakuks naiselikku energiat.
Kiire googeldamine juhatas mind Triinuni.
Lugedes lähemalt temast, kui inimesest ja väärtustest, mida hindab, oli äratundmine kohene. Seda kinnitas ka meie esimene tutvumine kohvikus, kus juttu jätkus kauemaks.
Sünnitus oli minu jaoks täiesti kehaväline kogemus ja kui mu esimene emotsioon oli selline, et Rubiga asi piirdub 🙂, siis tänasel päeval olen nõus seda kõike uuesti läbi tegema niivõrd toreda tiimiga, kui seda oli Triinu ja minu kaaslane. Praegu mõtlen ainult hea emotsiooniga tagasi sellele päevale, kuhu mahtus nii naeru, pisaraid, huumorit, kui ka lihtsalt olemist.
Triinu oli mulle suureks abiks igal sammul ning tema rahulik loomus ja särav naeratus saadavad mind siiani!
Väga tänulikud Rubi, Mari-Liis ja Are ❤️
