DC doulas were an invaluable part of my labor experience. They are an amazing team! In the months leading up to birth they were available by phone and email and offered great advice and tips for managing the birthing process. I was in labor for 38 hours and my doula was by my side through it all... she even endured TWO sleepless nights with me to help me through a very long and difficult labor. Although the birth did not happen as I had hoped (was trying to avoid pain meds), 30 hours into labor Sara helped me reach my decision to take the epidural and made me feel like I did not fail in any way. As hard as it was for me to change my birth plan, it was absolutely the right decision for me and my baby - and I am so glad Sara was there to help me feel good about my decision.
I had the opportunity to interact with all three doulas before my birth and I honestly think highly of all of them. But having had Sara by my side for those 38 hours - I can attest that she is an angel. My husband and I were so grateful to have her!
