We were blessed with our third beautiful daughter two and a half weeks ago. Polly is a friend of mine and when she heard I was pregnant she asked if I would like her to accompany me to the hospital to help with the labor.
I did not use a Douala with my previous labours, I had an epidural with both. This time I was almost two weeks late, and was really wanting to have the baby already. Polly offered to come over and do some massages and acupressure, then we went on a little walk. Later that day I went into labor.
At the hospital, Polly was an amazing support. She had words of encouragement and a constant smile on her face. And even five hours later, after helping through an very painful labor with no epidural, she still had the same smile on her face, a positive spirit and beautiful words of encouragement.
Polly also helped me in the beginning of my labour with massages and breathing techniques. When the contractions got more intense, I used the gas to help with the pain. Polly helped me with that as well. As soon as she felt another contraction coming on she would help me breathe the gas through it.
Five and a half hours later our baby was born. Polly was an amazing support and help !
I would most definitely refer Polly to anyone looking for a doula / midwife, or even just an amazing positive support during their labor.
