My husband and I decided late in pregnancy (~34 weeks) that we wanted a doula, and we could not have made a better choice than Emily. She was incredibly supportive throughout the whole process, offering exercises for late pregnancy to improve my overall comfort, and checking in regularly to see if there was anything that I needed. Once labor started, she helped to talk me through different positions to labor in, communicated my needs to the medical staff when I was in the middle of contractions and couldn't talk, and overall was a comforting presence in the hospital room. I can't say for sure that my labor was faster because of her coaching, but I can say that, with it being my first pregnancy, I would have been much less prepared and much less calm during delivery without her there.
