We loved Mariah and her gentle, knowledgable support. Mariah was my doula for the birth of my second child, which I desperately wanted to be a drug free VBAC. The support and knowledge she provided leading up to the birth helped me feel so much more confident and ready to try for a VBAC. My labor progressed very quickly to 9cm and then stalled for hours. Mariah was wonderful getting me through contractions and helping with various laboring positions to get baby into optimal position. I also felt very supported in my decision to finally go for drugs. I felt her calm encouragment flowing into me and it gave the strength I needed to get my body dilated that last centimeter and then have a successful VBAC. I can't imagine having done it without her and will be forever grateful for the awesome support she provided.
