My husband and I had trouble deciding if hiring a doula was the right choice for us financially. Looking back, we are so grateful that we did. I firmly believe that having Kerry as our doula made the difference between a natural birth and one with interventions. After laboring at home for two days, I was ready to ask for an epidural when we arrived at the hospital. Then Kerry arrived and immediately my anxiety and pain level decreased as she was able to suggest positions and strategies that helped me breathe (and even rest) through the remaining hours of labor and delivery. Kerry's calming yet competent presence helped both my husband and me relax and she managed to delicately balance a helpful yet assertive relationship with the nurses and doctor who commented more than once on what a fantastic doula she was. It felt as though they-- Kerry and the hospital staff were a harmonious team committed to my and our baby’s wellbeing, which I so appreciated. Kerry enabled me to have a birth that exceeded all of our “birth plan” hopes and we are unspeakably grateful.
