I'm incredibly pleased with Alison as my doula. This was my first birth and we took classes and learned all of the tricks of the trade, but it was essential to have a doula who has been through many of the unexpected ineviblities. Being the perfect fit for us, Alison was easy to get along with, down to Earth, knowledgable, beyond experienced, and accomadating. Before the birth, she kept checking in on us to help us with any unforseen difficulties. During the birth she was key in helping me through my labor pains. When my husband was exhausted or just wasn’t quick enough for my demands, Alison was right there making sure I was as comfortable as possible, which was best for me and my baby. With a slew of different nurses coming in and shift changing doctors, it was imperative to have a consistent knowledgable person close by. Alison gave my husband and I strong confidence in the decisions we had to make. When the birth was over, she was right there helping me ease into breast feeding and it worked out perfectly! There are so many complications with birth, and so much to learn that you eventually can’t figure out. It was the best decision we made to have Alison there and if we plan to have any more children, I will make sure that she’s my doula!
