En mi embarazo anterior fue una cesárea por tener 40 semanas y ser 5 días después del Huracan María. Luego de ese primer año post parto me enfoque en educarme para cuando tuviera mi segundo embarazo. Así fue, me fui educando y en las primeras charlas que fui de la Liga de La Leche conocí a Ambar, luego en las reuniones de Porteo. Por alguna razón la vi y dije "Quiero que ella sea mi doula" 

3 años luego, llegó ese segundo embarazo tan deseado cómo el primero. Pero este venía con miedos cómo loco. Así que me puse a buscar un proveedor que practicará VBAC y aceptará trabajar con Doulas. 

Llegó el dia del parto y les puedo decir que lo más que recuerdo es a mi Doula diciéndome "Tu puedes hacerlo" "Lo estás haciendo bien" "Respira" Con esta sitúa de la pandemia, el tenerla a ella junto a mi esposo y mi hija fue lo mejor sin duda alguna. Logré mi VBAC gracias a ella y su apoyo continuó e informaciones que nos brindaba. 

¡Gracias por todo!

Having Ambar as my doula was the best decision. She guided me through the process of pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding. Even though I could not deliver vaginally she helped me cope with the pain and manage it without medications, until it was time for the C-Section.  She made my labor process easier. She is a very smart, kind and open minded person and always follows the mother's wishes. Great friend of our family, would hire her again if I decide to have another child.
