“All 3 of them play a pivotal role in my birth.”
Engaging doulas is a checklist of mine right from the very start as years ago where I am exposed to water birth and subsequently home birth, I knew the need for one.
Before engaging the Wonder Birth team (Gem & Alexia), I have interviewed another pair of doulas which didn't give me much assurance and confidence for home birth. Calling up Dr Lai Clinic and gotten a list of doulas who worked with him often for home birth, I got into a discovery call with Gem & Alexia.
The entire call was really personal and I can see that they are really client centric with the questions they asked for us to dig deeper. What really sealed the deal for me is seeing their excitement when I said that I want to plan for a home birth.

“Engage a postpartum doula. You will NOT regret it!”
I engaged Alexia as my post-partum doula before I gave birth- as I heard so much about how the “fourth trimester” is the toughest… I am so grateful (to myself) for taking care of future me. Alexia helped me through my birth AND postpartum in ways that I find it difficult to set down in words (but I’ll try!). Her sage advice, calming presence and amazing tips (100% useful) helped me navigate the choppy waters of being a new mom at an older age. Post partum pains, identity crisis, exhaustion, anxiety, mastitis, breastfeeding, going back to work, sleep training, the list is endless on fourth trimester issues and Alexia was there to support me, suggest tips or even just lend a listening ear through it all. I do believe that having a postpartum doula like Alexia helped me recover more holistically- both physically and more importantly- mentally. To all new (and experienced) mamas out there, be kind to yourself- pregnancy as a journey is not just about the baby - the mama and her wellbeing is just as (or even more) important. Happy mama = happy baby. Engage a doula (esp for post partum) you will NOT regret it.

“Project manager by your side.”
Dewi and team have been fantastic! Had a very long labor (45+ hours all in all) and Dewi has been by our side throughout. It was like having a project manager by your side who’s driving the progress forward! We couldn’t be happier with Wonder Births’ overall experience: they’ll play it off you, not force anything, be tuned in your vibe and generally commit to this journey, all the way to the actual delivery in the room. Dewi is also a wonderful person outside of just professional qualifications. We are happily recommending WB to anyone considering a doula.

“Just get the doula".”
Engaging the Wonder Births team was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my entire life. My husband and I had heard soooo many birth horror stories, so many “just you waits”— I was honestly terrified to give birth. I felt overwhelmed and clueless and just afraid that I wouldn’t be able to do it. Now, our birth story is one of my favourite things to remember. The Wonder Births team changed EVERYTHING for us. They gave us information that empowered us to have the birth we wanted to have, taught us ways to prepare, recommended us to people who would support our goals, our doula Gem was hands on with us from beginning all the way to 8-weeks postpartum (which is such an incredible resource—my breastfeeding journey has been unbelievably easy because of Gem!!). They are so professional but end up feeling like family. I’m beyond thankful that we had Gem walk through this season with us! We could not have done it without her. I could not recommend Wonder Births enough. Just get the doula. 1000/5 stars.

“Empowered birth…”
Dewi supported us in offering a range of knowledge that could benefit us and allowed us to make independent choices. We were able to have an empowered birth because of the trust we had in Dewi in being there for us at every process.

“Transformed our birth experience…”
We engaged Dewi as our labour and birth doula, as well as our postpartum doula. She transformed our birth experience. I have no doubt that she made my labour shorter. She is specialised in helping moms understand how to push during labour, in a way that much exceeds what typical doctors and nurses can do or has time to give you, as she gives you dedicated 1-1 attention that helps you through the mental and physical hurdles that you experience during birth. She also understands the different healthcare providers in Singapore well, so she saved us a lot of time from trying out different obstetricians, lactation consultants etc as she can recommend choices based on her understanding of you as a couple. Lastly, she made our breastfeeding journey much easier, and I'm sure she made my milk supply come in much faster than if I had tried on my own. She was there to guide us through the critical stages of our newborn's first latch post birth, and helped me through the different stages of milk production and the issues that came with it in the first few weeks post birth.

“Caring, sincere and patient!”
I’m very happy to have Rowena on my second birth experience and she really educated both my husband and I on how our body works when I was pregnant. Also, how our body is wonderfully created to be able to deliver a baby the most natural way. My first birth was induced and ended up with epidural. When I found out about my second pregnancy, I really wanted this birth to be different and try to do it with as minimal drug as possible. Hence, thanks to a good friend’s referral, we found Rowena. She’s very caring, sincere and patient in answering all our questions and equipping us with the knowledge to prepare for the delivery day. Moreover, she visits us regularly after to make sure milk supply, baby and in fact my entire household were coping well with our newborn. This is truly the best birth experience I could imagine and it wouldn’t be possible without Rowena. Go for it ladies, everyone should have a doula at birth!

“Truly a hidden gem..”
Dewi is absolutely amazing. I really believe she goes over and beyond her duties as a doula. She is incredibly responsive, timely, organized, and knows what to do and when. I love doing yoga before pregnancy, so being able to attend her prenatal yoga classes was also just the cherry on top of the icing. So much of what she does is holistic from mental well-being, to research, support, guidance, and listening. She took her time to get to know us as a couple embarking on our new journey as a family and soon-to-be parents. She provided us with all the birthing tools and protocols that 100% I believe helped us have such a successful preparation for our pregnancy. She was able to encourage me every step of the way, focusing on visualization putting my mental state in the right place, calm, in control, and safe. She helped me and my husband navigate to the healthcare team challenges in a productive and positive way, thus reducing a lot of stress. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the birthing process from not only the physical perspectives but also the scientific-based understanding of your psyche throughout the whole process and how important that is..

“Amazing tag team!”
Rowena and Dewi are an amazing tag team and have made our birthing experience such an enjoyable one! They have truly been an invaluable source of support and information for us in our new parenthood journey. Rowena was our main Doula and she has really gone above and beyond everything we ever expected. She has been a constant throughout our entire journey, from the beginning of the pregnancy, to the delivery room, all the way to postpartum. As first time parents, we were really uncertain of how the entire delivery process worked. Thankfully we had her around to help navigate the whole delivery process in the hospital. She was a constant presence throughout the process and we are truly thankful.

“Best Investment!”
Dewi is a warm and encouraging doula who takes care of both the physical and mental well-beings of her clients. She teaches Spinning Babies techniques to help with optimal fetal positioning and also helped me manage my contractions during birth without use of drugs or epidural. Her profession as a yoga instructor was a great synergy to the Spinning Babies techniques as well! I consider engaging Dewi as a doula one of my best investments during my pregnancy and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who may benefit from one.

“Forever Grateful!”
I'm forever grateful to Rowena for her help and guidance during my first pregnancy. Overwhelmed by lots of info and worries, Rowena has always been by my side assuring me and most importantly, she taught me prenatal yoga which I think contributed to a fairly smooth and quick labour. Rowena also taught me optimal fetal positioning, labour process and some practical labour positions to be used during my labour. These actually gave me more confidence when nearing EDD. I would highly recommend Rowena and will not hesitate to engage her as postnatal and postpartum doula again.

“Full-circle care…”
Dewi is amazing. She will go above and beyond your expectations to put you first and find out exactly what it is you need from her, and she will deliver just that. Extremely knowledgeable about current research/ evidence based practice, she will guide you in preparing for your birth in a way that fills you with confidence and allows you to focus on the end goal, rather than worrying about how to achieve it. Not only this, but once your baby is here she can help you to recover with postnatal yoga and psychological support- by just being who she is. A full-circle care that I believe would be difficult to be surpassed by anyone.

“Birth Preparation a breeze!”
I attended Dewi's birth class and have been attending her prenatal yoga classes. Dewi goes above and beyond the scope of prenatal yoga to explain to us the birthing process and what it means at each stage of labour….I am really thankful to be educated so early in my pregnancy journey and makes the journey less stressful and scary, especially for first time mums!

“Best decision ever…”
Hiring a doula was the single most important decision in our birth journey. I cannot recommend Dewi enough helping us through what was a difficult pregnancy filled with anxiety. We love her evidence-based approach and calm demeanour which put us at ease from Day 1.

“VBAC? Get a doula!”
Dewi was very supportive throughout my VBAC birth and I really appreciate that she was there for me all the time. With her I managed to endure intense contractions for 9 hours without any epidural. Wouldn’t imagine what i do without her by my side!
