Linda was our doula for the birth of our first child, Everly, of in the middle of September of 2016. She is WONDERFUL!!! Even having read glowing reviews of how doulas really made a huge difference in the birthing experience I didn't know how much or how little to expect. But every time we spoke she would calm my fears, answer my questions and provide literature to help me understand everything much better. The prep made me feel more empowered and more calm going in.
On the day I was induced (I chose it), Linda showed up bright and early and was there for my 22 hour labor and delivery. I have to say she helped SO MUCH to keep me comfortable and calm. Before I was in labor, my husband didn't really understand what her role would be but afterwa he shared that he didn't know what he would've done without her. She had me try various positions, used massage and counter pressure, reminded me to eat and drink, worked with my doctor to come up with the best Solutions and so much more I'm sure that I've forgotten.
she also checked up on us post partum to be sure we were doing okay and help resolve issues we were facing. f you're thinking of hiring a doula, I can't recommend her enough! Just do it!
