Choosing Emily as our doula was the best decision my husband and I could have made. Very little of my birth plan went as expected. From not going to my choice of hospital to 33 hours of labor, Emily was there with us the entire time!! She never acted overwhelmed, negative, tired or as if she didn't want to be there. She kept me calm, positive and as comfortable as possible through very painful contractions. She was also our advocate trying to keep as much of my plan intact as she could when I was too exhausted to think straight! We never felt the situation was beyond her capabilities or outside of her comfort zone and she worked very well with my midwife and the staff. Getting the opportunity to meet beforehand and then again a few weeks after the birth was also a great bonus! Beforehand, you get to ask all of your questions and get a sense of what to expect...even the unexpected. And all your new questions that come up afterward are addressed when you meet again. Completely worth it!! If we have another, she's our girl :)
