Testimonial for Kaya Edwards
I have 4 boys already and never used a doula before. I got pregnant with my 4th unexpectedly but I knew I wanted to have a home birth this time. I found great midwives and then found out about doulas. I wanted someone to be my labor support because my husband was going to have to look after our other boys when I was in labor. She came over for 2 prenatal visits and came to one of my appointements to meet my midwives and help me get ready for my homebirth. My other labors were pretty quick and so I was worried she wouldn't make it in time maybe. She came 20 minutes after I told her I was in labor and my baby was born 2 hours after! She kept me calm when I felt like I lost control and things were happening too fast. She also helped take some wonderful pictures of my other kids meeting their new brother and my husband and I. She has come over again 2 more times to check on us and always asks if she can grab some groceries on her way over and makes us at least 1 dinner. I feel really happy with my experience and even though I don't plan on having more kids I reccommend her and doulas to all my pregnant friends.
