Hiring Devon as my birth doula was one of my best decisions during pregnancy. My husband and I picked her because of her calm demeanor, the guidance she could give us to make evidence-based and informed decisions, and her positive attitude. She gave us confidence to shoot for the birth plan that I really wanted, and to stick to it when my healthcare providers threw in some hurdles. She helped us prepare mentally by letting us borrow her books, physically by giving us stretches and labor positions to practice at home, and emotionally by being a listening ear to my worries and concerns via email. She helped to open important discussions between my husband and me so we were on the same page about my wishes for the birth. During labor, she was a constant source of support, physically and emotionally. I had my ideal labor and birth experience and I give much of the credit for that to Devon.
