I had always wanted to have an unmedicated birth. My first two pregnancies ended in induction and I had epidurals during labor. When I found out I was pregnant for the third time I knew I wanted to find a doula to help coach me through labor. I went to college with Shannon and after hearing that she was a doula I knew that she was a great fit for me. In our meetings Shannon asked me questions I had never thought about before and she explained the options I had during labor. In the weeks before I went into labor Shannon would check in with me and encourage me.
During labor I was able to make my own choices because of Shannon. She helped coach me through an amazing water birth, and afterward my husband (who originally questioned my need for a doula) said "I am so glad Shannon was there." I am so thankful for her calm, down-to-earth, and encouraging personality. I know I could not have had the labor I desired without her support.
