As first time parents, we really had no idea what to expect of the birthing experience. Finding a doula was one of the ways we sought greater understanding of the process, what it entails and what to expect.
Rebecca was very informative and frank about her personal experiences as a doula and how she thought they might apply to our situation. She listened to everything we had to say before answering a question or allaying a concern. She provided a pamphlet of printed material with illustrations and examples, which served as a great reference throughout the process.
When time came to deliver the baby, we called her in the middle of the night. She was available as promised and showed up with a caring attitude that saved us both. She helped me (the father) pick up when I needed a break and was very kind and soothing with my wife. She was unobtrusive with the nursing staff at the birthing center, but very mindful of the process and answered any questions we felt we needed to ask.
I can't recommend Rebecca too highly. She is a great educator, advocate, caregiver and friend. We cherish our time with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for the true value a doula can bring to the birthing process.
