This was our first baby and we had left getting a doula until the last minute....I was already in labour when we had called melissa for the first time. After speaking with her over the phone she had already made me and my man feel more calm. Melissa had offered to come to our place or meet us at the hospital when we were ready. We met Melissa at the hospital shortly after , by this time my boyfriend was starving and already tired and Melissa had no problem taking over and making sure I never felt alone. She sat holding the shower head on me for hours ! My labour and delivery did not go as planned and it did get a little scary for us. Melissa was there to offer support for my whole family and especially my boyfriend . He was able to joke with Melissa in the labour lulls and she was also there to show him ways to help or comfort me along during the harder times. Once all was said and done and baby Myla was born Melissa was still there as great support . She helped with breastfeeding and came to visit us a few times before we left the hospital as well as a few home visits too. She gave me her cell number and I was able to text her with any questions I had once I was home. I would recommend Melissa to anyone ! I hope she is there to help with my next babies and I know my boyfriend does too. Thank you Melissa !
