I hired Amy to be my doula in February 2016. After researching about birth, I decided I wanted to try and go without pain medication and interventions during labor. I found Amy through doulaMatch.
We met and I was impressed by how much she knew about birth and how willing she was to help me whether or not I decided on an epidural. I knew I wanted a natural birth but was worried about the pain.
Amy came to the hospital when I was in labor. She was fabulous. Amy helped my husband and I both feel calm. She explained the interventions that the doctor wanted to do and helped us advocate for our birth plan. My husband felt better knowing she was there to help us both.
My labor was 8 hours long and I was able to go completely natural. It was the birth I had imagined. I am thankful for Amy being there that day and all of the big and little things she did.
