Having gone through a very traumatic c section with our first daughter, we knew we wanted to do things differently with our second. Our hope was for a VBAC. We did a lot of research and decided it would be best to hire a doula to increase our chances of a successful VBAC. We met with several well qualified doulas, but knew immediately when meeting Dawne that she was a perfect fit for us. She is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and we shared the same beliefs about healthy living. We had several very informative meetings with Dawne before my due date. Unfortunately our hope for a VBAC did not happen due to several complications. Dawne was in constant communication with us, offering kind words and support. Our daughter was born healthy and that is really all that matters. Dawne encapsulated my placenta, which was great. Not having done this with my first, I noticed a big difference in milk supply and overall mood. She came for post partum visits, with yummy lactation cookies and great breastfeeding and baby advice. Even though our birth wasnt as planned, Dawne was a wonderful support to us during the entire process.
