In my desire to have a successful VBAC I decided to hire a doula for optimum support in reaching this goal. Julia was crucial in helping me keep my focus throughour labor; calmly talking me through each contraction. She worked as a great team with my husband, was strong and had a lot of stamina as she massaged my back through labor. Julia proved to be absolutely indispensable as my labor progressed into a challenging posterior birth. My midwife told me only about 5% of posterior births are vaginal, and even fewer are VBAC's. Julia's true colors shone through as I experienced unanticipated severe cramping immediately postpartum. She continued to compassionately care for me as long as I needed her while my husband tended to our new baby. I felt very supported through it all in Julia's capable hands. Julia was pivital in helping my husband and me have an extremely positive VBAC birth experience. We couldn't have been more happy with how everything turned out. She exceeded our expectations in every way!
