Wow! I am so lucky to have found Kristie to be my doula. This was my second baby and I was so nervous for labor as my first was a failed induction which led to one bad decision to another ultimately ending up in a c section. I knew I didn’t want to be induced again and I wanted to have my second baby vaginally. Kristie met with me multiple times before delivery to come up with a birth plan. Baby had been breach when we first met and she shared with me methods for flipping baby at home, which were successful! When I went into labor Kristie was there from the beginning and encouraged me throughout the night. During my first child’s labor I felt neglected when asking the medical team about positions or things I could do to help advance labor naturally. Kristie however was not short on ideas! She kept me moving to keep my labor rolling and rallied around me when contractions intensified! She even helped teach my husband some methods to help me through contractions. I’m happy to say we were able to have a successful VBAC of a 9lb 10oz baby girl! I would highly recommend Kristie for anyone contemplating hiring a doula. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again for our future children and I’ve already recommended her to my friends planning for their future children.
