We hired Elsa to be our "pre-postpartum doula" as well as our postpartum doula.
I moved to the cities 33 weeks pregnant with twins and a 20 month old for my husband's PhD program. I was unable to do most of the every day tasks due to my pelvic pain and tons of braxton hicks. Elsa, with her birth doula background, and mothering skills (she has 4 kids of her own) was the PERFECT fit for us.
We felt/feel so blessed to have Elsa in our lives. She is on time, resourceful, flexible and knowledgeable. Not to mention kind and caring and wonderful with out 2 year old. She was able to help me get the WIC set up, pick up groceries, entertain my 2 year old, and when the twins were born she helped with laundry, dishes, meals, resting, nursing and general care of my new babies. Not to mention helping me troubleshoot nursing problems with my fussier twin.
We are still working with Elsa (2 weeks postpartum) and are so grateful for her- would hire her again in a second!
