Testimonial for Heather Karlson (DONA)
Heather was great. She arrived around 1am, I was in active labor, and had me walking, squatting, and lunging during contractions. My daughter was 9lbs 6oz and I think all of the moving really helped get the baby down the birth canal. She stayed with me at all times and offered water, food, and of course support! When we arrived at the hospital she suggested I get into the shower which was a great place to labor. I labored for a few hours at the hospital and delivered my daughter in the bathtub after only 11 minutes of pushing. Heather was calm and confident which is exactly what you need a doula to be during labor. I used a doula for my first labor and although it was a good experience overall she didn't offer nearly as much active support as Heather did. My second daughter was a pound bigger than my first and if it wasn't for Heather I believe the labor could have been more difficult. I highly recommned using Heather.
