I decided to hire a doula after I had a horrible experience with the delivery of my first baby. I needed more help than what the medical staff was able to provide. Having Beverly for a doula changed everything with the second birth. I was so much more comfortable with the labor pain and delivered after only being at the hospital for two and a half hours. I only had to push for five minutes. I was also able to have a natural childbirth with no drugs. Beverly was so supportive and extremely capable. She was able to manage all the personaliies of the delivery room -- including my husband and mother. She was also more than just a labor coach--she provided me with so much education about the birthing experience and gave me confidence in myself. I feel I have made a friend for life with her and am looking forward to hiring her again for the next pregnancy. Yes, I am already thinking of having another after only three weeks of having a new baby. It truly was a life-changing experience, and I couldn't have done it without Beverly.
