Ruthie was phenomenal. I had thrown around the idea of using a doula. Met one and we did not mesh well. I ran into Ruthie at the zoo and immediately knew I wanted her to be my doula. She did not disappoint. I felt heard through the entire planning process and of course labor. Her presence was so calming and able to keep my partner involved and engaged with what was best to help me. I had a successful VBAC after induction at 39 weeks. As a nurse I know what it's like to be the helper, I could not have picked someone better to be my side when we welcomed my baby.
