So, my daughter is now 9 months old, and per the usual, I'm late posting this. But here's my experience with Aracely:
Having Aracely as my doula was one of the best decisions I made, while I was pregnant. She was sweet, kind, patient, attentive, and very knowledgeable. As a first time mother, I had no idea what to expect once I went into labor, but thankfully I had Aracely to guide me and help me through it all. Without her, I would not have found the strength to finally push my daughter out at 4 in the morning. She helped me dig deep for that extra "umff". 24 hours of labor is no joke.
In the early stages of labor, she kept checking on me to make sure things were progressing well and made sure to remind me to stay hydrated and fed. Once my contractions were closer together and I had entered active labor, she came over to help me breathe through the intensity of the contractions and help my boyfriend to coordinate calling the midwife for our arrival to the birth center.
I wouldn't change my personal birthing experience for anything. Everything happened the way it was supposed to happen. My daughter is healthy, I'm healthy, everybody's happy!
I picked the perfect birth center, with a great birthing team. But mostly, I picked the perfect doula. If I ever decide to have anymore babies, Aracely will be the first call I make. Thank you for everything, Aracely!
