Originally we hadn't planned on having a doula; however, after receiving information regarding how helpful doula's can be, we decided to seek one out. Melinda went above and beyond for us. She really helped to prepare us not only for labor and delivery but for being parents as well. She checked out our nursery and gave us tips on stuff we needed and didn't need. She guided us in developing our birth plan and educated us on all of our options and possible labor scenarios. During labor, she helped to keep David as the primary support person while supporting both of us in the process. She even brought chocolate in case Melissa needed it to help get her through labor. After the birth, she was there for us to answer questions and ease our minds regarding the trials of being new parents. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better labor and delivery and Melinda was a big reason for that. You can tell that she is passionate about what she does and really desires to form a bond with her clients. We look forward to working with her again for our next child and would definitely recommend her to everyone.
