As a first time mom I had not even thought about using a doula and was not informed on what a doula really was. My husband and I took a birth prep class and talked to our instructor (a retired doula) and started seriously contemplating hiring one to help us navigate the birth process. Once we met Mary we were convinced that we wanted her to be with us during labor as both a coach and advocate for certain aspects we wanted. Mary has been a great touchstone for questions and reassurance for those times after labor that you just feel completely lost and like you are doing everything wrong. She has eased a lot of my fears and self doubt. One of the great things about Mary is that she is an advocate and support for what YOU want and doesn't pressure you based on her personal beliefs. I would recommend Mary as a doula for first time moms as well as any one who wants additional support during such an important time in your life.
