My husband and I were in a hard place as a military family we were unsure if he would be here for the birth while I already had a toddler at home. My first birth was extremely traumatic during the pandemic. I was looking to not repeat the cycle. I originally connected with Sarah around 33 weeks and we clicked right away. I met with Suzie after as Sarah's plate was full. Suzie highlighted something for me. The recent loss of my mother and these emotions would most likely come up during the birth. I had not prepared for this and it sealed the deal on me choosing to commit to outside support. You have to understand and be flexible that doulas are running on a lot of unknowns. Suzie had an emergency and Sarah stood in as my birth doula. We started off great at The Birthing Inn until we realized the infant was in an OP position. I left to find pain relief with a hospital. Unfortunately, the hospital staff provided nothing but medical negligence and this was also a traumatizing birth. If we did not have Sarah advocating every step of the way including catching our baby - I know it would have ended terribly. Sarah also provided postpartum support where she became an integral part of our unit as my toddler still wishes she would drop by. We utilized our Carrot Fertility funds for these services rendered. Even without them I would highly recommend both of these womens support. Be flexible, state what you need and ask as early as possible! These women are professionals and want nothing but success for you. Thank you ladies!
