Chris was our doula for the home birth of our second son. She was helpful, encouraging, and a wonderful person to have present both as support and as a friend. She was always just a call or text away and she touched base with me almost every single day. Chris helped me stay patient and wait for the arrival of our little guy even after going past my due date. When I did go into labor, she came to our house and helped set everything up. During my labor, she took many pictures and when I started to feel like I couldn't do it, she was by my side encouraging me and reminding me that I was already doing it and we;d be holding our baby soon. After our son was born, she helped us get settled in as a family and I nursed our son for the first time. She stayed while my midwife finished up weighing him, getting footprints, etc and we talked about the birth briefly. She told me how beautiful it was and we looked through a few of the pictures she took throughout my labor, birth, and then afterward. She was a blessing to have in our home for the birth of our son and I highly recommend her to anyone searching for a calm, encouraging, and loving presence during their birth experience.
