Doula Triin
The birth of Rufus
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.
The birth of Eke
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.
Kadris 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!
The story of Kätlin
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!
Liisis story
I last gave birth a dozen years ago, and the (induced) birth experience (at the Central Hospital) wasn't exactly the most pleasant at the time.
This time I decided to hire a doula to help me with the birth, to make sure that nothing would get lost in the communication between me and the doctors.
I already knew Triinu before, so it was easy to decide in her favor.
It seemed like I wasn't afraid of childbirth, but I also thought a doula would be really necessary for my husband, who was very afraid of what lay ahead.
So it happened that when labor started, Triinu and I came to an agreement that she would take me to the hospital herself.
I was at home with my contractions and in the bath, and at one point I realized that there really weren't any breaks of them anymore.
Then it got busy.
Triin was with us in ten minutes, bundled us into the backseat of the car, and we sped to the hospital.
I'm not sure if it was already the expulsion period in the car, but we were able to spend half an hour in the hospital and had the baby in our arms.
But it turned out that I needed a doula more than anything. She guided me through breathing while driving, in the hospital corridors, and in the delivery room.
It turned out that I wasn't breathing properly.
Triin managed to take some pictures while supporting me and was still taking care of me when the baby was already on my chest.
My husband started to feel dizzy in the hospital, but Triin was able to support him in such a way that he still held up well and was a great support.
Looking back, my husband is very grateful that he was there for the birth of his daughter.
Today I would not recommend anyone to give birth without a doula!

I didn't have a doula to support me during labor or postpartum.
Today I can say that I would definitely use a doula for postpartum support, especially with my first child (and especially if there are no grandmothers nearby). The encouragement and teachings of a doula would definitely come in handy in the first few weeks, maybe 1-4 weeks.
A doula can help with advice and strength, both in caring for the mother and caring for the child, and as a breastfeeding counselor. It also gives you peace of mind and confidence.
I definitely recommend it.

Triin was at the birth of my second child.
I considered for a long time whether I needed to bring a doula. I had a small gap between my children (1.4 years) and I still remembered my previous birth. At the same time, I still had a nagging feeling in my soul from the first long birth, that this experience was not quite what I had hoped for. I wished that this time I would be able to breathe better and that the birth would be a pleasant memory.
I found Triinu's contact on a doula website and from her description, she seemed like a warm and friendly person. We met Triinu once before the birth and the conversation was so sweet and direct, as if I had known her for a long time.
During labor, Triinu was a great help in breathing through the contractions and breathed with me. She helped me communicate with the hospital staff, held the heating pad, reminded me to drink water, and encouraged me in every way when I was about to give up. It was also easier for my husband, because the entire burden of the support person was not on him alone. I am very happy that we brought a doula with us for the birth of our second child.
I was able to breathe through the contractions better, did not need an epidural, and the baby was born faster than expected.
Rubys birthday
Dear Triinu attended the birth of our dear daughter, Rubi, on 15.02.2025.
I always thought that I would be the one who would give birth alone and not want anyone close to me, because ... me!:)
But in the middle of my pregnancy, I felt and realized that I still wanted a space keeper and someone who would provide feminine energy.
A quick google search led me to Triinu.
Reading more about her as a person and the values she has, the recognition was immediate. This was also confirmed by our first meeting in a café, where the conversation continued for a longer time.
Giving birth was a completely out-of-body experience for me, and while my first emotion was that it was over with Rubi 🙂, today I am willing to go through it all again with such a great team as Triinu and my partner. Right now, I only think back with good emotions to that day, which included laughter, tears, humor, and just being.
Triinu was a great help to me every step of the way, and her calm nature and bright smile still accompany me today!
Very grateful Rubi, Mari-Liis and Are ❤️
