Hiring Laura as our doula was quite possibly one of the best decisions I made during my entire pregnancy. My goal was to have as few interventions during our birth as possible, and through her strength and encouragement I was able to labor longer and harder than I could have with just the support of my husband. He did everything he could to be prepared, but there is nothing he could do to compare to having an expert who has seen every situation, and been through many herself as a mother, by your side. The birth of our son ended up being a complicated one that included a posterior LARGE baby. She was able to get me to 10 cm and through 5 hours of pushing! Laura is not only a great support to have on hand, but she was also an amazing teacher in her childbirth class leading up to the big event. I am so grateful for having found her, and that I was able to have her as such a vital member of our team. I will definitley hire her again if we have another child.
