I was lucky enough to take a Prenatal yoga class from Heather three years ago. Her knowledge of the pregnant body and mind made me feel right at home in her weekly class. In the early part of my first pregnancy, I had never even thought of having a doula but I quickly realized that more than having a doula at my births, it was her that I wanted to be apart of our birth experience. She gave me comfort in both her knowledge as well as her presence that is in my mind essential.
My two birth experiences (both of which Heather was my doula) could not have been more different. The first was one in which I went into labor on my own and gave birth to my oldest son 18 hours later. Heather was there to be both my advocate in the delivery room as well as my husband and my physical and emotional rock.
My second birth experience was a scheduled c-section, and again, although the needs were different due to the circumstances of a surgical birth she provided us again with both her knowledge to help us prepare for a change in our birth plan as well as emotional support to process this new experience.
We both would say how blessed we are that she has become apart of our lives and if we have any more children, we hope that she will again be apart of that experience as it would not feel complete without her!
