I don't think I can express in words how grateful we were to have Adelaine as our doula a year ago. She was supportive and knowledgeable. When I went into labor 2 weeks before my due date, I called my OB-GYN and was told to wait until my contractions were strong and regular. My contractions were very strong but sporadic. I knew I was in labor and not progressing to the normal stages of labor. I called Adelaine and she came to my house in Holly Springs. After seeing how and where my contractions were, she saw that I wasn't advancing because the baby was pushing against my pelvis instead of the birth canal. She guided me through few different positions to help move the baby into the birth canal. Not long afterwards, my water broke. Then things got a little hectic. As soon as the water broke, I had the urge to push. Adelaine calmly helped us get in the car and drove behind us to the hospital. Once we got to the hospital, my husband had to leave the car running at the entrance to rush me inside. My baby was born about 15-20 min after we arrived. With all the commotion, she made sure what I wanted on my birth plan was addressed. Adelaine was so calm during all this and stayed with us through the whole process. At some point, she even parked my husband's car. Adelaine was an amazing doula. She was assertive when needed but also calm and very supportive.
