Having a doula is more than just a service but it's also gaining a friend. Julie is there for every step of the way. Our prenatal visits gave my husband and me the confidence we needed going into our baby's birth. I was never worried or affraid, only prepared and excited for the experience of birth and meeting our baby girl. Julie was able to give us wonderful suggestions about how long to stay and labor at home and when to head to the hospital. She was able to get me to walk to get the baby to move down. She also took photos for me and my husband so that we could remember the special event in more detail and created a birth story for us to cherish for many years. Reading all of the books and taking the classes are so important but having someone there just for you is so helpful in every way. All in all, my labor was fairly short and I attribute a lot of that to the support and knowledge I had from my doula. The best day of our lives.
