I had never had a doula before...actually before meeting Enza I didn't know what a doula was! That being said, I wasn't even sure if I would like having a doula but I wanted support during my labor in a new hospital. Wow!! I hope to have Enza at any future births! She was wonderful!
We met a few times before the birth to talk, go over questions, prepare fo labor, etc.
She worked well with the medical staff, but wasn't afraid to speak up if/when she needed to. She helped set a relaxing mood for my night long labor. She did an awesome job in keeping me moving to help with labor progression, but was wise enough to know when I needed a rest. She had moves/stretches that I didn't know about to help with my babies position and labor. She also had massage techinques that I wish I had known about with my previous births, they where a HUGE help with managing contraction pain!!
If you're wondering if a doula is worth it? YES!
If you're looking for a doula...I would HIGHLY reccomend Enza!
