Cara and Kerry are both awesome doulas. I ended up working with Cara for my birth. She has a lot of knowledge and experience under her belt, but at the same time, she is a real calming presence. Cara recommended books for me to read and sent me relaxation tracks to listen to to ease my anxiety about birth, and it worked like a charm. I went into labor in the evening and was in touch with both Cara and Kerry via email until it got more intense in the middle of the night. Cara talked me through a few contractions over the phone, and then came to our house. My midwife told me not to go to the hospital yet as she thought I was still in early labor and had a while to go. But when Cara came over, she knew right away that I was far along and we all went to the hospital together soon after. She talked me through some of my most intense contractions which helped me to manage the pain. When we got to the hospital I was at 9cm dilated and the baby was born an hour later. If it was not for Cara, I would have delivered the baby at home! With both my husband and Cara by my side through the whole process, I was able to have the unmedicated birth that I wanted. After the delivery, Cara helped me to latch the baby on for her first breastfeeding. Throughout the whole thing, she also managed to capture some pretty touching and emotional photos of us, which are so special and we will cherish for a long time. Kerry also came to the hospital the day I delivered to pick up my placenta for encapsulation, and brought the finished capsules to my house a few days later. I feel very thankful to have worked with both Cara and Kerry, you cannot go wrong with either of them for your birth. I hope they are available again for our next baby.
