We were referred to Kelly from a friend that had just recently had Kelly as her doula for the birth of her first son. I was pregnant with our third child and had very different pregnancies and births with my first two children. I had a csection with my first, a VBAC with my second and I wanted to have a natural VBAC with my third. With my second child I wanted to have a natrural labor as well but while in labor the nurses really pushed an epidural and made me feel that without an epidural that a VBAC may not be something that I could do. They told me that an epidural would help me relax my mucsles and make labor progress faster, which turned out to be quite the opposite, almost 24 hrs later my daughter was born.
When I met with Kelly I shared my experiences with her and she assured me that I could have the labor that I wanted. I felt comfortable that she could help advocate for me at a time that someone needs an advocate the most. Kelly was amazing during labor, she knows all the tricks to helping labor progress quickly and naturally and also knows ways to make you feel as comfortable as possible while giving birth. I would have never had made it through labor naturally without Kelly there refocusing me and helping me through each contraction. My husband hates seeing me in pain and having Kelly there to assist us made him feel way more comfortable! My only regret is that I didn't know about Kelly with my first two children! I am very greatful that Kelly was part of our big day of welcoming our newest member to our family.
