My name is Danila, I am 35 years old and when I found out that I was pregnant of my first baby, I really wanna try natural birth. I have discussed that a lot with my husband and doctor but I havent made a decision until I was 32 weeks. I had a very normal pregnancy, I was eating healthy and doing my exercises. My doctor told me that everything was just fine for having a vaginal delivery that was when I decided to looking for a Doula, I know I need help to achieve my goal.
I started searching for doula when I found Cara and Kerry profile they seemed so nice and experient. We had our first skype meeting and I felt the connection with them. I felt safe and I knew I could trust them.
we had our first meeting and it was great. The childbirth class with Cara was great and very useful mainly for my husband because he has not done any reading about it. For me was crystal clear after the class that I did not want any intervention if was not necessary.
On Saturday Nov 18th I started having contractions around 4 in the afternoon, they were one hour apart, then 30 min, then 20 and when I realized it was 8 in the evening and I was having them 5 min apart we called Cara who was every helpful and calming, told me us what to do. Around 10 I decided that was time to go to the hospital, Cara met us there. I was 5 cm dilatated. Labor went all night. Cara put some essential oils and special lights, coached me with diferent positions to make the contractions less painful. At 4 in the morning I was 9,5 cm, my water did not break so the doctor advice us to do so. Labor will procede faster if She did so. I started pushing, it wasnt easy, but Cara was there helping me and coaching me the entire time. My sweet little boy came to this world at 6:04 am after 14 hours of labor and 2 hours pushing. He was 6 lbs 8 oz, healthy, handsome. I did all natural and couldnt have done without Cara's help.
