Testimonial for Shari McBurney
When I got pregnant I wasn't even thinking of getting a doula, not because I didn't want to, but because the thought hadn't even crossed my mind. There were way too many other things spinning around in my overactive pregnancy brain. However, we met Shari at our birthing class and when she brought up how she was a doula and the things doulas provide, my husband and I became very interested in finding out more. We talked to Shari after class and when we went home we were sure we wanted a doula...and we were sure we wanted Shari. The thought of having someone else who could support us and remember the little (and BIG) things was so comforting during a time when there was so much unknown. Fear of the unknown was the overarching feeling for me during my pregnancy and knowing that Shari would be there looking out for me, my husband and our baby was an invaulable support and comfort. I could stop trying to think of everything and just enjoy being pregnant. I could stop worrying about all the "what ifs" because of Shari.
When I went into labor, it was 2 in the morning. I texted Shari because I wasn't sure...and she texted right back...at 2 in the morning :) From there on she was our guide! I got to the hospital and when she came to meet us, I knew everything would be great. She listened to me and respected everything I wanted or didn't want. She was able to navigate the logistics and "administrative" things for us so we didn't have to worry. I can't tell you how amazing it was to have someone in the room who knew what they were doing (aside from the hospital staff :)). She was an amazing cheerleader who stayed with us through 30 hours of labor and 25 minutes of pushing! During the most chaotic and beautiful moments of my life, Shari was there and for that I can't thank her enough!
