I had my heart set on a home birth with my twins, but unfortunately could not have one, due to changed laws in California. So changing my plans from home to a hospital was very scary. Thankfully, I had the best woman on my team, Michaela Bell. She came in towards the second trimester of my pregnancy and was available with any concerns I had. She came over numerous times and always made me feel like a priority! The day I gave birth she came over early in the morning and was on board the entire day. I went into labor at 4 am and the twins were born at 2 in the afternoon.She stayed by my side the entire time. She was my cheerleader, my voice when I needed her to be, and my ultimate saving grace during labor. There were a few pushy nurses and doctors, and i'm very quiet (especially while in labor) but she stood firm for me. I believe that birth went as smooth as it did because she was there, fighting for what I wanted. She knew my birth plan and helped me stay as close to it as possible. I had a dream natural labor with my twins, thanks to my amazing Doula! You would be crazy not to have her on your birth team! I cannot thank her enough for all the love, encouragement and support during the pregnancy and labor!
