I am so glad that I found Katie and that she was able to be our Doula. My labor started unexpectedly (7 weeks early) and in that moment, a lot of the preparation and plans my husband and I had made went out the window. Fortunately, Katie was with us every step of the way, helping us to still get the type of labor and delivery experience that was important to us. She knew that we wanted a drug free birth with as little intervention as possible, and we got it! She was there to encourage me to get up and move around during labor, she reminded me of different positions I could be in, and was there to help my husband comfort and encourage me. I also really appreciated how she was able to gently remind the nurses of a few of my wishes, such as delayed cord clamping and putting my son right on my chest after delivery. I am so grateful for Katie's help with my birth. I will make sure she is there for all my babies!
