Melissa was amazing. I'm not sure how I would've done it without her. We hired Melissa only about 4 weeks before my EDD. When searching for a doula, I not only wanted someone that was caring, experienced and qualified but I was also looking for a good sense of humor, someone that could make me laugh when things were getting serious. During our first phone call I knew Melissa fit the bill perfectly. She felt more like a knowledgable friend than someone I had just hired. She met with us before the delivered to make sure we were prepared, helped us pack our hospital bag, then checked in with me after every doctors appointment. Once the time came and I started contractions it was so helpful to have someone to tell me when was the best time to head to the hospital. She even picked us up from our apartment and drove us there. She was such a huge help before during and after the labor. I was so incredibly grateful to have her there. Still to this day she continous to check in with us and provide advice for breastfeeding etc. We will definitely hire her again for our next baby.
