I debated on hiring a doula until the last month of my pregnancy. As my nerves and reality started to sink in, I realized I could definately use the extra help if I wanted my birth plan to go as I hoped. Thankfully I found Danielle on short notice and was able to meet her shortly there after at times that were most convenient for me. Prior to delivery, she was a great resource for helping me get my breech baby into the correct position for delivery and also provided useful tools to prepare me mentally for a natural birth. When I thought my labor might be starting, she was just a phone call away for guidance. Her encouragement and support during labor and delivery helped me (and my husband) stay focused and calm. I don't think I could've followed through my natural birth plan without her there. It was an amazing experience that I will cherish forever. She also did placenta encapsulation for me and was very prompt in delivering the pills with clear directions on taking them. I have been taking them since 2 days post birth and despite my lack of sleep with a newborn and toddler, I have a lot of energy and am feeling really good:)
