Gabe was fantastic! We were so glad to have her with us throughout the birthing process. We decided to have a doula when we discovered we were having twins and thus would pretty much have to give birth in the hospital (birth center doesn't do twins and midwives don't usually either). She was very supportive and informative of all our questions and concerns regarding labor, delivery and hospital protocol. I went into early labor at 34 weeks and progressed very quickly (throwing out our initial idea that we'd labor at home as long as possible) and she met us at the hospital. With shift change of doctors and nurses from night to day and not having met the main doctor, it was so important to me that gabe was a constant and familiar presence and support. She encouraged me throughout and i labored naturally to 9cm overnight. I really feel that my birth experience was a primarily positive one in large part because of Gabe's doula support. She has checked in on us many times since the birth to see how were all doing (my twins were in critical care for 2 weeks) and the belly binding she provides has really helped my belly shrink back down very quickly. I can't recommend Gabe enough, she was very positive and supportive through the whole thing even though twins come with a lot of uncertainties and anticipated complications (mine were relatively normal, just a bit early.) She is a wonderful doula and person.
