With my first birth in 2010, I had an epidural and my daughter was 5 weeks premature. For my second baby, I wanted an unmedicated natural birth and to go full term. I am so blessed to have had Elan as my doula! Right away she was hands on and helping me through contractions. It was like she was reading my mind and she gave me the exact comfort measures that I needed right when I needed them. She helped me to relax and I felt very safe and comfortable with her. Elan helped me to feel like I was in control through the worst of the contractions. A lot of people said that I was very calm during labor and that I must have a high pain tolerance, but I would disagree with that. I truly believe that if it were not for Elan and my husband helping me through, and with meditation and prayer, I would have not had the unmedicated, natural birth that I had planned. I am so pleased with my birth experience with Elan and I will definitely be calling her if there are any more babies in my future!
