This was my first pregnancy, my husband and I wanted to have a natural childbirth but had never been a part of a childbirth experience. I had the desire to hire a doula, my husband was skeptical of hiring one, but decided to humor me. i set up an interview with Tracy and we met with her and ended up hitting it off. I tried to interview a couple of other doulas and our schedules never matched up, my husband and I felt that was the Lord's way of confirming our choice with Tracy. My first labor pains started when I was at work on a Wednesday afternoon, I texted Tracy to let her know that things were probably starting soon. She told me that what I was experiencing was normal and to keep her posted. We called her to come to our house at around 2 am Wednesday/Thursday night/morning. She came over and immediately started coaching and encouraging me through the contractions. We labored at home as long as possible. I had a very long labor, my baby boy was not born until Friday at 3:44pm, Tracy was with my husband and I the entire time. I was able to have my natural childbirth, no epidural or pitocin and I was in labor for a total of 52 hours! Not normal at all, but I could not have done it without first of all God's help, and then Tracy and my husband. My husband who was skeptical at first about hiring a doula, would recommend her to anyone and she is worth every penny!
