Olga helped us a lot both before and after the birth, providing us with useful information and practical guidance throughout the process.
During labor, she helped us navigate pain management, induction options and timing, and different positions and techniques to help labor progress. When contractions became intense, she gave me concrete things to focus on and helped me work through the pain.
After I got the epidural, Olga noticed that my contractions had slowed down and worked with me through different positions to get things moving again. The contractions eventually came back naturally, allowing me to continue progressing without additional intervention at that point.
Her coaching during pushing was especially helpful. Her counting and encouragement gave me something to focus on, and she helped me find positions that worked well for me.
We would absolutely choose Olga again and strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a birth doula.
