My husband and I decided to include a doula in the birth of our first child. Early in the pregnancy we interviewed Adriana and immediately felt she was a good fit for us. She was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the pregnancy and really helped ease our minds as we navigated the stages of pregnancy. When I was induced she arrived at the hospital promptly and stayed with us until after the birth of our daughter. While I was initially indecisive about whether hiring a doula was the right choice for us, I was left with no doubts once the day arrived. Adriana's guidance and assistance was invaluable throughout labor and delivery and I have no doubt my labor would have taken a different path without her presence. My hope had been to avoid interventions which ended up changing as labor progressed but Adriana helped me to feel at peace with my decisions and in control of my birth experience. She helped my support team of my husband and mother feel more at ease throughout the process and her calm energy helped ensure that my birth experience was a positive one. My husband and I would not hesitate to include Adriana in the birth of our next child. She was an essential part of my support team and I can't imagine the experience without her guidance and assistance.
