Noemí was my Doula last year, for my first birth, and I cannot imagine the pregnancy or birth without her. Throughout my pregnancy, I went to her with any questions. She helped me understand what is normal and helped me process emotions around all the changes. When I found out that my baby was in a breach position, she was an incredibly helpful partner in thinking through my options and constructing a plan that felt right for me and that would guide us during the birth process for how to make decisions depending on what happened. She was with me from early labor to the end and was such a rock for me during an extremely long and challenging labor. Her steady, strong, loving presence was so grounding. Her massages before and during labor were so helpful. She made sure I was eating and drinking enough fluids, bringing me liquids with a straw and yummy foods that were easy for me to eat while moving amongst positions. Not having to worry about food and hydration enabled me to just focus on being present through the contractions. The way she educated me and helped me consider options ahead of time and prepare for different potential scenarios meant that even when we had to make hard decisions during labor, that were not what I had originally hoped for, I still felt empowered because I was informed enough and supported to make my own decisions that I felt were best for me.
One of the things that was really important to me in my birth team was having people around me that recognized birth as a sacred and spiritual portal and who would be able to witness and support me in that realm. Noemí has a deep capacity to hold space for the rollercoaster of experiences and emotions that come with passing through the threshold of giving birth. Her strong grounded spirit made me feel stronger and helped me feel more peace even in the most challenging moments.
