Sara and Karen were very helpful at the birth of our third child. A homebirth with midwife attending.
The older children were waking up when we called in the doula. We wanted another adult here in case the children needed breakfast or attention while I needed comforting. This was not a problem for them (even at 8am on a Saturday morning).
In addition to helping with our older children...
They provided physical support: counterpressure for back labor and even helped hold me up during the final stretch. (No pun intended. :))
They provided emotional support: encouraging words.
They provided practical advice: suggestions for speeding things up, positions to labor in.
I would recommend them.
