First let me say that I found Heather by accident and it was on e of the best accidents throughout my pregnancy.
I started working with her very late in my term, by about 8 and a half months into it and thought it was late.
Well, now I know it's never too late a caring, knowledgable and lovely doula on your side,
She responded to my inquiries quickly and I had no porblem setting up appointments with her, even though she is usually really busy.
When the time for delivery came, my husband and I texted her from the hospital and asked her questions, and kept consulting with her all the way through until she arrived to the hospital and was there with us. It was invaluable to have her knowledge and expertise on our side. It gave me confidence into my ability to give birth naturally and to trust my body which is what doula's purpose is.
She had been by my side starting from active labor and past delivery, offering refreshing towels to put on my ferehead, keeping me hydrated as much as it was possible, guiding me through the birthing process with encouragement on breathing and not giving up.
The result was natural unmedicated birth which I'm now so proud of to a wonderful baby boy! Not diminishing the Evanston midwives' efforts, Heather is the huge contributor to my birth being so smooth, calm, collected and wonderful!!!
Million Thank you, Heather!!!
