Irene is a friend I have only known for 6 or so months, but she's now been with me for an everlasting memory. I decided if she wanted to witness a homebirth she would be able to attend, and be my doula. She was with me for my third live birth but my first time having a doula present. I can proudly say her presence made such a calming difference to my birth. There when I needed her and backed off when I needed her to as well. I don't think I'll want to give birth without a doula again, and I can proudly say that is because of how supportive she was during the birth. I am happy to have this shared expirence between us and I know it will only make our friendship even more special. I am so greatful for her calm, trusting attitude towards birth. Her hands on skills with counter pressure, hip squeezes and robozo holding me was amazing too. She kept me going with wise words and encouraging things when I was in the thick of it. I'll forever reccomended a doula to attend your birth and if you're lucky enough to have Irene, you will be blessed with wisdom and grace alongside your beautiful birth.
