I'm so thankful for Rachel! She has been my doula twice now. The first time was with my twins who came early at 32 weeks. My labor with them was so bizarre- I would labor hard for a few hours and then it would completely stop. It was back and forth like that for a couple of days and Rachel was so willing to come multiple times as we needed. She was so confident and positive which was very comforting to me and my husband.
This time around (single baby at 39 weeks) I had a 5 hour labor, but baby was OP for the majority of my labor. Rachel helped position me and apply pressure to my back. At one point, I remember hearing Rachel say, "yes, she would want that". I have no idea what that was all about! (I'm guessing perineal support while pushing) but I appreciated Rachel speaking up when I physically couldn't! She paid attention to my husband, made sure he got food and that he felt comfortable when he was supporting me. She also got a phenomenal video tour of the baby, umbilical cord and placenta to show our older children!
